Review Product Life Cycle and the Impact on Partnership Strategies / IDC Research:This IDC study describes the relationship among buyer motivation, product technology adoption, and the value of understanding the technology product life cycle. For marketers and market researchers, understanding the technology product life cycle can help isolate market segments that are positioned for growth and the sales and alliances necessary for maximizing that growth. Relationships between vendors with products in different stages of the life cycle can be expected to provide each with specific and describable benefits. The benefits of relationships between vendors of products in various stages is articulated in a strategy matrix used globally for several years in IDC's High-Performance Partnering Workshops. "Marketers must understand the 'stage' of a product's adoption when selecting markets or market segments to target for growth. Understanding how the target buyer sees the role of technology in his or her company and industry is essential to leveraging the proper mix of alliance and channel relationships.
