Technology life cycle v/s Product life cycle and thier curves and differences

1. Technology life Cycle-TLC
Describes the:
• commercial gain of a product through the
expense of research and development phase and the financial
return during its vital life.
Basically concerned with the time and cost of developing the
technology.
the timeline of recovering cost, and modes of making the technology
yield a profit proportionate to the costs and risks involved.
S-curve:
The shape of the technology life cycle is often referred to as an S-
curve

3. Phases of TLC
• 1.(R&D) phase: ( "bleeding edge")
when incomes from inputs are negative and where the
prospects of failure are high
• 2.Ascent phase :when out-of-pocket costs have been
recovered and the technology begins to gather strength
by going beyond some Point A on the TLC ("leading
edge")
• 3.Maturity phase: when gain is high and stable, the
region, going into saturation, marked by M.
• 4.Decline(or decay phase): the decline (or decay
phase), after a Point D, of reducing fortunes and utility of
the technology.

TLC
The technology life-cycle (TLC) describes the commercial gain of a
product through the expense of research and development phase, and
the financial return during its "vital life".
The technology life cycle is concerned with the time and cost of
developing the technology, the timeline of recovering cost, and modes
of making the technology yield a profit proportionate to the costs and
risks involved.
PLC
Product life cycle is the stages through which a product or its
category bypass. From its introduction to the marketing,
growth, maturity to its decline or reduce in demand in the
market. Not all products reach this final stage, some continue
to grow and some rise and fall.
