DECLINE STAGE: The final stage of the product life cycle, characterized by a drastic drop off in profits. A company needs to decide how long to continue to support a product during this stage. Advertising and promotion can help maintain sales for a period of time. Ultimately, the cost-benefit tradeoff forces the business to discontinue the manufacturing of a product in this stage. Sometimes this happens quite rapidly and in some cases the product continues in this stage for many years.

|
Page: 5 of 25
|
In this unit, you should have learned something about:- How numerical measurements are used to indicate the health and well-being of the economy.
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is the total market value of all final goods and services produced in the economy in a given period of time.
- That GDP seeks to measure ALL production of goods and services in the economy at its total market value.
- That GDP only measures the market value of final goods and services, because the cost of intermediate goods is included in the price of the finished product.
- That GDP measures the flow of current production that takes place during a specific period, usually one year.
- The difference flows, which are measures that take place over a period of time, and stocks, which are measures that exist at a point in time.

Concentration unto itself is not necessarily bad, but it often leads to inefficient behavior, such as collusion and nonprice competition. Concentration is measured in three ways--market share, concentration ratio, Herfindahl index.

[What's This?]
Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time visiting every yard sale in a 30-mile radius looking to buy either a T-shirt commemorating the 2000 Olympics or a genuine fake plastic Tiffany lamp. Be on the lookout for empty parking spaces that appear to be near the entrance to a store.
