ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my faculty guide Mrs Priyanka Chandanani who gave me the golden opportunity to do this wonderful topic Product Life Cycle which also helped me in doing a lot of research and I came to know about so many new things. I am really thankful to her Secondly I would also like to thank my parents and friends who helped me a lot in finishing this project within limited time I am making this project not only for marks but to also increase my knowledge
THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO HELPED ME
ABSTRACT
The product lifecycle model can be understood as a three-stage model of technological development associated with a particular product technology. In the explorative stage many different designs are developed, in the development stage products become standardized into a dominant design, and in the mature stage only incremental changes occur within the dominant design. Although the product lifecycle model is widely accepted and often applied in empirical research, innovation scholars have failed to develop systematic theoretical models that explain the different stages of technological development along the lifecycle. In this study, an attempt is made to contribute to product lifecycle theory by developing a theoretical model based on percolation dynamics. The model combines the concept of increasing returns to adoption with information diffusion among consumers within social networks. The main contribution of the model is that it replicates the three stages of the product lifecycle as

ABSTRACT
The product lifecycle model can be understood as a three-stage model of technological development associated with a particular product technology. In the explorative stage many different designs are developed, in the development stage products become standardized into a dominant design, and in the mature stage only incremental changes occur within the dominant design. Although the product lifecycle model is widely accepted and often applied in empirical research, innovation scholars have failed to develop systematic theoretical models that explain the different stages of technological development along the lifecycle. In this study, an attempt is made to contribute to product lifecycle theory by developing a theoretical model based on percolation dynamics.
