LIFE CYCLE APPROACH
There are four stages a product goes through during his life cycle:
(a) Pioneering Stage – In this stage the technology and product is new,
there is high competition and very few entrants survive this stage.
(b) Rapid Growth Stage – This stage witnesses a significant expansion in
sales and profit.
(c) Maturity Stage – It marks developed industries with mature product
and steady growth rate.
(d) Decline Stage – Due to introduction of new products and changes in
customer preference the industry incurs a decline in market share and

II. Assigning weights to these factors according to their relative
importance
III. Rate the project proposal on various factors using suitable rating scale
IV. For each factor multiply the factor rating with factor weight to get
factor scores
V. All the factor scores are added to get the overall project rating index.
Organization determines a cut off value and the project below this cut
off value are rejected.

value. There are six entry barriers which result in a positive NPV project.
