Purpose of Assignment

The Product Life Cycle (PLC) is a vital
component of the marketing plan. Monitoring products and services as
they flow through this process helps marketing managers adjust their
marketing strategies to keep products and services thriving for as long
as possible. Monitoring this cycle helps companies and organizations
continue to maximize the value of their products and services with their
target over time. The purpose of this assignment is to give students
the opportunity to understand how each stage in the PLC creates a need
for adjustment to marketing strategies and allows students to assess
what action(s) need to be taken.
