GE MATRIX:

The GE matrix is an alternative technique used in brand marketing and product

management to help a company decide what product(s) to add to its product
portfolio, and which market opportunities are worthy of continued investment.
Also known as the 'Directional Policy Matrix,' the GE multi-factor model was first
developed by Mckinsey for General Electric in the 1970s.
Conceptually, the GE Matrix is similar to the Boston Box as it is plotted on a twodimensional grid. In most versions of the matrix:
the Y-Axis comprises industry attractiveness measures, such as
Market Profitability, Fit with Core Skills etc. and
the X-Axis comprises business strength measures, such as Price,
Service Levels etc

Mahindra Towers in Mumbai, India, with operations in over 100 countries across
the globe. The group has a presence in aerospace ,automotive, component, defense,
energy, farm equipment, finance and insurance, information technology,
hospitality, logistics ,retail, etc. It is considered to be one of the most reputable
Indian industrial houses[3] with market leadership in utility vehicles[4] as well as
tractors in India. Mahindra & Mohammed was originally incorporated in 1945 by
the brothers J.C. Mahindra and K.C. Mahindra and Malik Ghulam Muhammad in
Ludhiana, Punjab to trade steel. Following the Partition of India in 1947, Malik
Ghulam Muhammad left the company and emigrated to Pakistan where he became
the first finance minister of the new state. In 1948, K.C. Mahindra changed the
company's name to Mahindra & Mahindra.
Building on their expertise in the steel industry, the Mahindra brothers began
trading steel with UK suppliers. They also won a contract to manufacture Willys
Jeeps in India and began producing them in 1947. By 1956, the company was
listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, and by 1969 the company had entered the
world market as an exporter of utility vehicles and spare parts.

Mahindra entered the industrial equipment market in 1992 with a range of
high-efficiency conveying equipment for the cement industry. Our longstanding
experience in manufacturing gave us a firsthand understanding of the importance
of reliable and effective material handling equipment. We quickly expanded to
serve the power plants, heavy chemicals, and mineral processing in addition to
cement.
In each of these businesses, material handling systems make a tremendous
difference to a firms competitiveness. .

government. We've now expanded into defense systems like sea mines,
