{{B}}The
product life cycle{{/B}}
Products have a limited life, not only
from the consumer's viewpoint, but also
when as far as the
producer is concerned. For example, a particular model
41. of car might last
5 years before production is stopped and it is replaced
42. for by
a completely new model. New inventions
and technology
43. have to made many products obsolete. Fashion
can be another major
44. as influence on the life of a product. Some products
survive because
45. they now sell after in different areas.
Products, since they have a
46. limited life, all have a life
cycle. It is obvious that different products
47. are last for different
lengths of time but their life cycles have certain
48. common in elements
which can be described as the introduction, growth
49. and maturity stages.
The length of the product's life cycle can often be
50. extended by a
modifying the product in some way and this is often done by
51. companies to
keep their products on the market for a longer period.
52. Provided that the
product remains so competitive, this can be much less expensive than developing
a new model.
