Discussion Connections
Suppose that you’re on a panel to
nominate the “best new products of the


What products would you nominate and why?
In groups, apply the new-product
development process you’ve just studied,
and develop an idea for an innovative
new snack food product and sketch out a
brief plan for bringing it to market.

Applications of the Product
Life Cycle
The PLC concept can describe a:






Product class which has the longest life cycles (i.e.
gas-powered cars),
Product form which tend to have the standard PLC
shape (i.e. minivans),
Brand which can change quickly because of changing
competitive attaches and responses (i.e. Ford
Taurus),
Style which is a basic and distinctive mode of
expression,
Fashion which is a popular style in a given field,
Fad which is a fashion that enters quickly, is adopted
quickly and declines fast.
