Gardner, Professer Department of Business Administration The Product Life Cycle: It's Role In Marketing Strategy- Some Evolving Observations About The Product Life Cycle The Product Life Cycle is an attractive concept, but one which the common consensus is that it has some descriptive value, but rather limited or non-existent prescriptive value. This paper is based on the premise the Product Life Concept has the potential to become a central, if not, the central concept in marketing theory and practice. Prior to making suggestions on steps toward this ambitious goal, the concept is reviewed along with its major limitations. Based on a review of research evidence published since 1975, it is suggested that three areas need to be explored and expanded. The first is a careful reexamination of the foundation of the concept, then there needs to be a focus on the product life cycle as a dependent variable, and third, there is a need from application of meta-theory criteria to guide future research.

  • College of Business and Economics Supply Chain Management
    COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT What is Supply Chain Management? Much more than logistics, Supply Chain Management (SCM) integrates supply and demand management within and across companies. It is one of the most critical issues in global business today, and offers outstanding career opportunities for suitably qualified graduates. Supply chain spending is growing faster than the overall economy, and in 2006 over $1.3 trillion was spent on SCM activities, which was more than 9.5% of the U.S. GDP. What are the typical job opportunities in SCM? There is plenty of good news for new graduates in the fascinating and diverse field of SCM. Opportunities abound in manufacturing and production companies, retailers and distributors, consulting firms, service firms, government agencies, transportation companies, third party logistics providers, and universities and educational institutions. Famous firms such as Nestlé, WalMart, Disney, Best Buy, Caterpillar, Boeing, Microsoft, Hewlett- Packard, and Nike, are just a few of the names of firms whose SCM expertise is legendary. What is the salary outlook in SCM? Excellent employment prospects, a fast-paced, fulfilling work environment, and the opportunity for career growth all sound great, but you’re still thinking “show me the money!” Starting SCM salaries for 2007 college graduates with a SCM major average $45,771 according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. And that’s just the beginning! As your experience and responsibilities grow, you can expect to earn an average of $89,300 as a Supply Chain Manager, according to the 2007 Mercer Benchmark Database for Logistics and Supply Chain Positions.
