The business portfolio is the collection of
businesses and products that make up the
company.
The company must:



analyze its current business portfolio or Strategic
Business Units (SBU’s)
decide which SBU’s should receive more, less, or no
investment
develop growth strategies for adding new products or
businesses to the portfolio
