the life cycle begins when a developed country, having a new product to satisfy consumer needs, wants to exploit its technology break-through by by selling abroad. Later it shifts outside to reduce the cost and increase in demand outside. when the demand stagnates it switches to a standard product to be able to compete in cost.
example computers,
initially produced in USA
then exported from USA
production bases shifted outside, Taiwan, Singapore (and now China)
USA today importing Computers from outside (max assembly in USA, though even that is costly)
it has three stages
New Product - first home country, then export to others from home country
Maturity - Shifting production bases outside due to economical reasons
Standardisation - Product standardised and mostly imported in home country (Read USA)
