Product Life Cycle[产品生命周期]
(Levitt)

产品生命周期（PLC）模型可以帮助分析产品以及行业的成熟阶段。

1965年，Theodore Levitt 在《哈佛商业评论》（43卷，81-94页）上的经典之作—— 《开发产品生命周期》（Exploit the Product Life Cycle），首次提出了产品生命周期的概念。 任何公司都在通过最大化产品和服务的销售收入，来探寻未来现金流持续增长的方式， 因为，现金流是一个生存能力、投资能力以及人力资源活力的保证。 所有这些努力最终都落在了占有额外市场份额、谋取行业领袖地位上。

对于企业长期投资来说，持续稳定的现金流至关重要，那么，最好的保持现金流稳定的办法就是要有一个或多个金牛。 所谓金牛，就是在成熟市场上，占据了大量市场份额的强势产品。

现代市场环境下，PLC变得越来越短。 许多企业通过产品差异化、市场细分化战略，使得成熟产品获得新生。 企业日益关注PLC的成本与回报，不断对其进行评估，因为产品可资利用的销售时间和回收投资成本的时间，正在逐渐收缩。

虽然PLC缩短了，但是许多产品的使用寿命却被延长了。 例如，一些耐用品如汽车、家庭日用品的使用寿命较之过去大大地变长了。 所以，当企业还在规划他们的产品时，就应该将产品的市场生命周期和使用寿命周期同时纳入考虑范畴。 现在，越来越多的企业已经开始从产品生命周期出发，考虑如何进一步优化产品的营收和利润， 商品保质期、成品配件以及产品的更新能力等也因此越发受到企业的关注和重视。

毋庸置疑，PLC概念对企业的经营战略、绩效表现有着重要影响。 PLC理论指出了产品生命周期有4个阶段， 从产品问世到退出市场，这4个阶段对产品销售有着不同影响。

产品生命周期的四个阶段

• 引入阶段（Introduction Stage）。 产品投入市场，并通过集中的、剧烈的市场活动，建立清晰的产品识别身份、促进最大化的公众认知。 试用、购买促进活动也发生在这一阶段。
• 成长阶段（Growth Stage）。 当销售不断增加、市场出现竞争者时，产品便进入成长阶段。 从卖方角度来看，成长阶段的另一个特点是持续的市场促进活动。 从顾客角度来看，重复购买也是成长阶段的一个特点。
• 成熟阶段（Maturity Stage）。 成熟阶段的一个标志是，由于竞争的加剧，部分竞争者开始推出市场。 同时，销售增长速度急剧下降，销售额达到一个平稳水平。 此时，购买产品的主要是典型的忠诚顾客。
• 衰退阶段（Decline Stage）。 由于此前的市场竞争、不利的经济条件、不断出现的新产品和替代品，产品从而进入了衰退阶段。

除了上述4阶段产品生命周期模型外，另有一些其他版本的产品生命周期、行业生命周期（ILC），亦被用来解释产品、市场和行业的发展。 它们非常相似，但在周期阶段的划分上略有不同， 如下。
