    BMW's Product life cycle.

    • 644 Words
    • 2 Pages

    any product has four stages of life cycle: introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. However, this concept does not quite fit with BMW's products. Jim McDowell, vice president of marketing at BMW says " If a product is declining, we would prefer to withdraw it from the market, as opposed to having a strategy for dealing with the declining product," In other words, Maturity and Decline stages do not usually exist in BMW's product life cycle. Before a product reaching the Maturity stage that characterized by decreasing sales rate and declining profit, BMW pulls it out from the market. BMW cars typically have product life cycle of seven years. As we see in Figure 11-1 any product has bell-shape curve of duration of life cycle, but BMW cars has half shape life cycle, including introduction and growth stages. Thus, the best sales number is often achieved in sixth or seventh year after product introduction.…
