Due to unavailability of data, we used business segments instead of
geographical divisions in developing BCG matrix for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. The
data on the market share of each segment is also not available for both KKD and Starbucks
(largest rival firm in the industry). Because of this, we just get the ratio of KKD’s reported
market share in 2013, which is 2.1%, to the market share held by Starbucks (36%). From
this, we got a result of 0.06 as the relative market share position of KKD. We again
assumed that relative market share position of KKD for each business segment is constant
at 0.06 to simplify the evaluation.
