Question
In a second paragraph, identify whether the product mentioned in the article is a consumer or business product. Specify what you think the "core" is in terms of features, quality, etc. (Note: Typically, the core of a product includes the product itself, the design features, and the functional features. It also includes a packaging component -- quality, price, package, styling, trademark, brand name, and any support services (e.g., delivery, warranty, spare parts, repair and maintenance, installation, instructions, and any other related services). You may need to research this information if not specifically included in the article you chose.
In a third paragraph, identify where you think your product or service is in the PLC (Product Life Cycle). Be sure to explain why you think it is where it is. Then briefly discuss other product issues such as liability, safety, and/or social responsibility. If your product is a new product, what do you see as the requirements (money, time, people, etc.) you might need to successfully launch it?
Finally, in a fourth paragraph, describe any warranty, branding, and/or packaging considerations. Pay attention to such things as labeling requirements, product protection concerns, and possible cultural sensitivities (i.e., you don't want to use green packaging in Malaysia because green = jungle = malaria = death).
