Today, product life cycles are measured in terms of months and years rather than decades and generations. It's important to match trends with life-cycle stages.

Pick a product that fits each of the five life-cycle stages from Figure 2.8 (embryo, growth, maturity, decline, and rebirth) and recap the information you discovered in a one to two page paper. This can be one product that has gone through the five life-cycle stages or five different products demonstrating a different life-cycle stage.
