Analyzing Product Components
•
•
A product is multidimensional, and the sum of all its features
determines the bundle of satisfaction (utilities) received by the
customer
The many dimensions of products can be divided into three distinct
components:
– Core components
– Packaging components
– Support services components
•
These components include all a product´s tanglible and intangible
elements and provide the bundle of utilities the market receives from
use of the product.

The international product life cycle
• Macroeconomic approach:
– Typically, demand first grows in the innovating country.
Production, consequently, takes place first in the innovating
country. As the product matures and technology is diffused
production occurs in other industrialised countries and then
is less developed countries.
• Microeconomic approach:
– Due to different economic levels in different countries, a
specific product can be in different PLC stages in different
countries.
