The document discusses the product life cycle concept, which suggests that products pass through four stages - introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. Each stage is characterized by different sales, costs, profits, and marketing strategies. The introduction stage involves low sales and high costs as products are new. Growth sees rising sales and profits as distribution expands. Maturity involves maximizing profits through brand and model diversification. Finally, decline has falling sales and profits as products are phased out. The concept is based on assumptions like stages varying in length and not all products passing through every stage.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
3. INTRODUCTION
The product life cycle concept suggests that a product passes through
four stages of evolution from its initial introduction in the market through to its
withdrawal. These stages are introduction, growth, maturity and decline. As a
product evolves and passes through these four stages profit levels change and
different strategies have to be employed to ensure product success.
4. DEFINITION
According to Philip Kotler
The product life cycle is an attempt to recognize the distinct stages in the
sales history of the product.
According to William J Stanton
The product life cycle concept is the explanation of the product from its
birth to death as a product exists in different stages and in different competitive
environments.

simultaneously strengthening the firms investment niche segments.
Harvesting the firms investment to recover cash quickly.
Divesting the business quickly by dropping off its assets as advantageously as possible.
14. PLC CONCEPT IS BASED ON FOLLOWING
ASSUMPTIONS-
Not all product introduced in the market essentially pass through all stages of its life cycle. It
is also possible that the product may attain introduction stage and then get phased out.
There is no definite line of demarcation between the various stages of product life cycle.
At the same time, a product may be in different stages of its life cycle in different segment of
the market. For example, the product concerned may be in the introduction stage in Asian
market while facing decline in western countries.
The time span of each stage in PLC in respect of each product may vary. Thus, a product may
experience longer period in growth stage & relatively short period in maturity stage.
15. CONCLUSION
The product life cycle is a tremendous way of figuring out where a product lies in the
market and how much life span it has. It accurately describes the process a product goes
through in the market. Every product in the market has a life cycle and is currently in one of
the four stages.
