The useful life of a product or system; the developmental history of an individual, group or entity.
Examples of life cycle in the following topics:
-
Life Cycle of Small Business

Product Life-Cycle Curve
- It is important for marketing managers to understand the limitations of the product life cycle model.
- A given product may hold a unique product life cycle shape such that use of typical product life cycle models are useful only as a rough guide for marketing management.
- Facebook is in the mature phase of the product life cycle.
- The iPod touch is currently in the mature phase of the product life cycle.
- The diagram shows the sales and profits of a given product during the course of the product life cycle.
-
The Product Life Cycle
- Product development and product life cycles go hand-in-hand.
- For example, consider the product development and life cycle of a video game.
- Products have a limited life and, thus, every product has a life cycle.
- The product life cycle begins with the introduction stage (see ).
- Discuss the rationale behind the marketing concept of product life cycles
-
Stages in the Product Life Cycle
- There are four stages in the product life cycle: introduction, growth, maturity, and decline.
- There are four stages in the product life cycle: introduction, growth, maturity, and decline .
- At this stage of the life cycle, the company usually loses money on the product.
- In the maturity stage of the product life cycle, sales will reach their peak.
- There is no set schedule for the stages of a product life cycle.
-
Considering the Organizational Life Cycle
- The life cycle of an organization is important to consider when determining its overall design and structure.
- The Enterprise Life Cycle is a model that underlines the way in which organizations remain relevant.
- Daft theorized four stages of the organizational life cycle, each with critical transitions:
- The Enterprise Life Cycle comes strongly into play in the elaboration stage.
- Describe the way in which life cycles influence an organization's overall design and structure
-
Life Cycles of Sexually Reproducing Organisms
- Fertilization and meiosis alternate in sexual life cycles.
- In the diploid-dominant life cycle, the multicellular diploid stage is the most obvious life stage, as occurs with most animals, including humans.
- Within haploid-dominant life cycles, the multicellular haploid stage is the most obvious life stage.
- Most fungi and algae employ a life cycle type in which the "body" of the organism, the ecologically important part of the life cycle, is haploid.
- Fungi, such as black bread mold (Rhizopus nigricans), have haploid-dominant life cycles.
-
Life Cycle of a Conifer
- In the life cycle of a conifer, the sporophyte (2n) phase is the longest phase.
- This image shows the life cycle of a conifer.

Bureaucratic Control
- The quality control cycle improves processes through a continuous cycle of planning, doing, checking, and acting.
- The quality control life cycle is an ongoing cycle of planning, monitoring, assessing, comparing, correcting, and improving products or processes.
- It is also known as the Deming circle/cycle/wheel, Shewhart cycle, control circle/cycle, or plan–do–study–act (PDSA).
- Another version of this PDCA cycle is OPDCA.
- Use the four central components of the quality control cycle as a quality control (QC) tool
-
Natural Cycles
- Social cycle theories argue that historical events and the different stages of society generally go through recurring cycles.
- In Rossiia i Europa (1869), he differentiated between various smaller civilizations (Egyptian, Chinese, Persian, Greek, Roman, German, and Slav, among others) and asserted that each civilization has a life cycle.
- Sociological cycle theory was also developed by Pitirim A.
- Modern social scientists from different fields have introduced cycle theories to predict civilizational collapses in approaches that apply contemporary methods, which update the approach of Spengler, such as the work of Joseph Tainter suggesting a civilizational life-cycle.
- Examine the change in social cycle theories throughout history, ranging from ideas of "life cycles" to political-demographic cycles

The Lytic and Lysogenic Cycles of Bacteriophages
- This feature of a virus makes it specific to one or a few species of life on earth.
- Bacteriophages may have a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle, and a few viruses are capable of carrying out both.
- An example of a bacteriophage known to follow the lysogenic cycle and the lytic cycle is the phage lambda of E. coli.
- A temperate bacteriophage has both lytic and lysogenic cycles.
- In the lytic cycle, the phage replicates and lyses the host cell.
