Monitoring products and services as they flow through this process helps marketing managers adjust their marketing strategies to keep products and services thriving for as long as possible. Monitoring this cycle helps companies and organizations continue to maximize the value of their products and services with their target over time. The purpose of this assignment is to give students the opportunity to understand how each stage in the PLC creates a need for adjustment to marketing strategies and allows students to assess what action(s) need to be taken.

Ch. 1: pg. 4-10; Ch. 2: pg.40-46, 54-69; Ch. Developed a slide setting the theme and goals of the presentation. Defined and discussed the PLC concept and its importance to marketing managers. Defined and discussed what role pricing strategy has in marketing and how marketing mangers decide what strategy to use. Described what company/organization and product/service student is using. Created one slide for each of the four stages of the PLC describing the stage and analyzes the implications that stage may have on price strategy, product, competition, and profit for student’s selected product/service. Used the product/service student selected to illustrate each stage as it is discussed with original examples. Discussed the reasoning behind why the PLC is important to marketing managers and share examples of possible implications if it is not monitored. Cited a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources with one coming from the textbook or the University Library. The presentation is 10 to 20 slides and is appropriate for the audience.

The presentation includes relevant media and visual aids that are consistent with the content. The tone is appropriate to the content and assignment. The introduction provides a sufficient background on the topic and previews major points. Major points are stated clearly; are supported by specific details, examples, or analysis; and are organized logically. Paragraph transitions are present, logical, and maintain the flow throughout the paper. The conclusion is logical, flows from the body of the paper, and reviews the major points. The presentation is laid out with effective use of headings, font styles, font sizes, and white space. Intellectual property is recognized with in-text citations and a reference slide. Sentences are complete, clear, and concise. Rules of grammar and usage are followed including spelling and punctuation. The Product Life Cycle (PLC) is a vital component of the marketing plan.

Ch. 1: pg. 4-10; Ch. 2: pg.40-46, 54-69; Ch. Scenario: You currently work as the marketing manager of your favorite company/organization and manage the success of one of its products or services. Your responsibility is to monitor the stages of the Product Life Cycle (PLC) and adjust the marketing strategies as needed for your product to thrive for as long as possible. At each stage, you assess changes you need to make to the product, price strategy, as well as competition and profit. Develop a slide setting the theme and goals of the presentation. Define and discuss the PLC concept and its importance to marketing managers. Define and discuss what role pricing strategy has in marketing and how marketing mangers decide what strategy to use. Describewhat company/organization and product/service you are using. Create one slide for each of the four stages of the PLC describing the stage and analyzes the implications each stage may have on price strategy, product, competition, and profit for your selected product/service. Use the product/service you selected to illustrate each stage as it is discussed with original examples. Discuss the reasoning behind why the PLC is important to marketing managers and share examples of possible implications if it is not monitored. Cite a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources with one coming from the textbook or the University Library. Use in-text citations in the presentation slides and speaker’s notes to demonstrate your research.

Another advantage is that NMR is sensitive to motions on the millisecond to second range, which can be directly studied. Even motions as small as those of the nanosecond to microsecond scale can be studied indirectly. X-ray crystallography is also an extremely time-consuming process, and the crystalline structures can be difficult to maintain. However, the greatest advantage of NMR over X-ray crystallography is NMR’s ability to reveal the details of specific structural sites without solving the entire structure. Current studies in proteomics include the research being done by biochemists at the University of Washington in Seattle. These scientists are studying environmental effects on the transcription and translation of the mRNA molecule. This is the nucleic acid that codes for the manufacture of proteins within the cell. In an earlier study, they reported the use of Translational State Array Analysis, or TSAA. This method allowed for the simultaneous study of mRNA level and translation. They chose Saccharomyces cereviciae as their model and arrested it with the temperature-sensitive cdc 15-2 allele.
