SAnonymus Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 According to me, to describe the changes you have to consider the market1) Which section of the product life cycle does it lie in and how is it changing? (like from maturation to saturation)2) What kind of pricing strategies are being used for this particular product or the range of products3) How much of the profits is it generating for the firm?4) How much investment is needed for the product?You can explain these factors using the Boston matrix and this is described in the Section 4 of Paul Hoang textbook.This was more general but you can take the aspects related to the case study.I hope this helps! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
