BCG Matrix- McKinsey 7s for John Hopkins Hospital

The 7-S Framework is known as a watershed model that addresses the critical condition, rather than structure in organizational effectiveness. This paper intends to review such 7-S Model and use it to create a BCG matrix for Johns Hopkins Hospital.
McKinsey’s 7-S Framework are (1) style which is the kind of leadership the organization uses to achieve their goals (2) skills which refer to the actual skills and competencies of the organization’s employees; (3) systems which refers to the daily activities and procedure that staff use to get the job done and the goals are met; (4) structure which is how the company is organized, how departments are structures; (5) staff which refers to the employees and their general capabilities; (6) strategy which is the organization’s plan for building and maintain a competitive advantage over its competitors;; and (7) shared values which is the core values of the organization where every S is anchored. This is the corporate culture and general work ethics.
BCG Matrix on the other hand is a business method which based its theory on the life cycle of products. It is known as the Boston Box or Grid or Charts that are divided into four types of scenarios, Stars, Cash Cows, Dogs and Question Marks. The Stars is the scenario where there is the optimum situation of high growth and high share, this method requires an increased investment due to the continuous growth; the Cash Cow cycle deals with low growth and high share. This scenario requires a low investment, but the growth is very slow; the Dogs method is the situation where the growth is low and the market share is low, this is one of the worst situations. In this situation if the products are not delivering the cash then it is best to liquidate; and the Question mark means high market growth but low shares. In this situation there is a high demand but low returns. It is best to try and increase market share or get it to deliver cash.
