‡ To conclude the report V would say that the PLC theory has
its share of critics i.e. life cycle pattern are too variable in
shape and duration. PLCs lack a fixed sequence of stages
and a fixed length of stage.
‡ Critics also charge that marketers can seldom tell what
stage the product is in. A product may appear to be mature
when actually it has reached a plateau prior to another
usage.
‡ So, in the end, V would like to say that the PLC concept helps
us interpret product and market dynamics. Vt can be used
for planning and control, although it is less efficient as a
forecasting tool. Thus one can conclude that every product
has a life cycle but to make the best of he products growth
and to make it in favor of the company is really important.
