The Product Life Cycle: Introduction
The product life cycle is defined as a generalized model of the sales trend of a product class or category over a period of time and of related changes in competitive behaviour (Buzzell, 1966). In order to accommodate the product life cycle as a predictive tool for a product marketing outcome, Scheuring (1974) proposed two main factors that could affect the application of the product life cycle. The first factor is the effect of population growth change, and the level of personal consumption. Secondly it is necessary to be clear on the product type involved.
There are five stages of the conventional life cycle of a product, namely; product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline.
