1. History/Origin: The Learning Solutions Magazine article discusses Theodore Levitt's "Marketing Myopia" which is directly relevant to the origins of the product lifecycle concept. It's a readable article and not paywalled.²⁶, ²⁷, ²⁸, ²⁹, ³⁰
2. Practical Applications (Reuters): The Reuters article about Apple and its investment plans discusses how a major company navigates its product offerings and supply chain, implicitly touching upon product lifecycles and market demand.²³, ²⁴, ²⁵
3. Limitations/Criticisms (ResearchGate): The ResearchGate paper "Product life cycle: A re-appraisal for the 21st century marketing manager" directly addresses critiques and limitations of the PLC model. It appears openly accessible.²¹, ²²
4. Practical Applications (OECD): The OECD article on "Digital Transformation: Product Lifecycle Management" directly discusses PLM as a critical aspect of industrial digital transformation, providing a real-world application context.¹⁶, ¹⁷, ¹⁸, ¹⁹, ²⁰
