A product life cycle theory for international trade an empirical investigation

The Product Life Cycle Stages or International Product Life Cycle, which was developed by the economist Raymond Vernon in 1966, is still a widely used model in economics and marketing. Products enter the market and gradually disappear again. According to Raymond Vernon, each product has a certain life cycle that begins with its development and

The intent of his International Product Life Cycle model (IPLC) was to advance trade theory beyond David Ricardo’s static framework of comparative advantages. In 1817, Ricardo came up with a simple economic experiment to explain the benefits to any country that was engaged in international trade even if it could produce all products at the lowest cost and would seem to have no need to trade with foreign partners. The Product Life Cycle Theory is an economic theory that was developed by Raymond Vernon in response to the failure of the Heckscher-Ohlin model to explain the observed pattern of international trade. The theory suggests that early in a product's life-cycle all the parts and labor associated with that product come from the area where it was invented.

Products enter the market and gradually disappear again. According to Raymond Vernon, each product has a certain life cycle that begins with its development and Corporate Product Policy and Innovative Behavior of European and Japanese Multinationals: An Empirical Investigation International product life cycle theory is one of the leading explanations arguments on the positive quality effect of FDI can be traced back to the product cycle theory of FDI. Vernon (1966) identified the products covered by defensive FDI as those in the mature stage of the product life cycle, where technology is widely diffused, production process is standardized, and price competition prevails5. This argument THE PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE CONCEPT: BURIED OR RESURECTED BY THE DIFFUSION LITERATURE? The Product Life Cycle (PLC) concept is a well-known marketing strategy and planning tool. The concept is based on a simple biological analogy of stages over a product’s “life,” which is intuitively appealing, but unfortunately has limited utility in practice. International Product Life-Cycle • Most new products initially conceived and produced in the US in 20th century • US firms kept production close to the market Minimize risk of new product introductions Demand not based on price yet; production cost not an issue • Limited initial demand in other advanced countries Exports more attractive
