The concept for monitoring the product or service lines is called; Product Life Cycle.  There is a graph of this life cycle in our text Essential of Strategic Management on page 265.  Authors Hunger & Wheelen (2013) describe as "the product life cycle as a graph showing time plotted against the dollar sales of a product as it moves from introduction through growth and maturity to decline" (p. 265).

 

Can you give an example of a health care product that relates to the Product Life Cycle? What are some of the variables that drives the maturity or decline?
