The model helps marketers strategize but products don't always follow predictable cycles.
Characterstics of product lifecycle stagesAndrew Manuel
The document outlines the four main stages of a product's lifecycle: 1) market introduction, where costs are high and demand must be created; 2) growth, where sales increase and competition begins; 3) maturity, where sales peak and competition/prices increase; and 4) saturation and decline, where costs rise, sales fall, and profits diminish.
Products typically go through distinct life cycle stages from introduction to decline. The five main stages are development, introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. Marketing strategies must be tailored to each stage. In introduction, the goal is creating awareness and trial. In growth, the focus is building brand preference and market share. Maturity aims to defend market share and maximize profits amid competition. Decline requires deciding whether to maintain, harvest, or divest the product. Managing a portfolio of products in different life cycle stages helps maximize cash flow and profits over time.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
