酒店市場增長率的高低相對酒店在市場的業(yè)務高低——波士頓矩陣。
    波士頓矩陣又稱市場增長率一相對市場份額矩陣。該方法是由波士頓咨詢集團（Boston Consulting，BCG）在上世紀70年代初開發(fā)的。BCG矩陣將組織的每一個戰(zhàn)略事業(yè)單位標在一種二維的矩陣圖上，從而顯示出哪個業(yè)務提供高額的潛在收益，以及那個業(yè)務是組織資源的漏斗。波士頓矩陣根據市場增長率和相對市場份額分為四種業(yè)務組合。
    1.問題類業(yè)務
    指市場增長率高、相對市場份額低的業(yè)務，對于這類業(yè)務，酒店企業(yè)需要投入大量的資金支持其生產經營活動，但是生成的資金較少。對這類業(yè)務的投資需要進一步分析，只有那些符合酒店企業(yè)長遠發(fā)展目標、具有資源優(yōu)勢或者能夠增強企業(yè)核心競爭能力的業(yè)務才值得繼續(xù)投資。一項或兩項，集中投資發(fā)展。
    2.明星類業(yè)務
    指市場增長率高、相對市場份額高的業(yè)務。這類業(yè)務為酒店企業(yè)帶來了長期盈利的機會，但因為市場還在高速增長，需要大量的投資來對抗或擊退競爭對手。酒店企業(yè)應根據最近狀況，選擇這兩個或其中的一個業(yè)務優(yōu)先供給它們所需要的資金，支持它們繼續(xù)發(fā)展。
    3.現金牛類業(yè)務
    指市場增長率低、相對市場份額高的業(yè)務。這類業(yè)務往往是成熟市場中的領導者，是酒店企業(yè)資金的主要來源，企業(yè)不需要大量投資，反而用此獲得的資金來支持其他類業(yè)務。酒店只有一個現金牛類業(yè)務，說明它的資金來源有限，一旦因環(huán)境變化而導致其市場份額下降，公司就不得不從其他業(yè)務中抽回現金來維持現金牛業(yè)務的領導地位。
    4.瘦狗類業(yè)務
    指市場增長率低、相對市場份額也低的業(yè)務。一般情況下，這類業(yè)務獲利低甚至是虧損的。要是酒店企業(yè)有兩項瘦狗類業(yè)務，如果這類業(yè)務還能自我維持，則應縮小經營范圍，加強內部管理。如果這類業(yè)務已徹底失敗，酒店企業(yè)及時采取措施，清理業(yè)務或退出經營領域，否則只會加重酒店企業(yè)的虧損并影響其他業(yè)務的發(fā)展。
    酒店產品以客房和餐廳為主，還經營著康樂、酒吧、咖啡廳等業(yè)務，可以采用波士頓矩陣分析法，找出自己的問題類業(yè)務、明顯類業(yè)務、現金牛類業(yè)務和瘦狗類業(yè)務，有針對性地進行酒店市場營銷，以期在市場上贏利，獲得較大的市場份額和良好的聲譽。
