Develop and describe a technology lifecycle model (including the time and cost of development, the amount of time to recover the cost, and return on investment (profit) based on the development costs and risks) and/or product lifecycle model (including timing, marketing measures, and costs associated with the life of a product) for the new technology or application
The Development Lifecycle model really depends on the product being developed. If the product is a new product that started out as an invention or new idea it will take a while longer to get it the product or idea ready to take to market. If the idea or product is changing the way another product or idea works to make it better it might not take as long to get the product to market

The time and cost of development is highly dependent of the type of product that will be going to market. Simple devices will not take as much capital or testing while certain software and very technical products will need to be tested and verified before releasing the product to the consumers. With the satellite video radio development and testing will take a large amount of funding in order to get the product prototype read for testing. Once the prototypes are released, a large amount of data can be obtained from the test users further developing the radio. The intended buyers of this technology are not completely concerned with the price per unit unless there are more than one of the same type of product in which they can choose from. After finalizing the radio the initial contract will generate more interest from other units and drive more sales. This could turn the initial startup cost into profits in a hurry. Profits from the sale of the radios can be reinvested into product development furthering the capabilities of the next generation of the radio. One risk of developing a radio of this nature is the risk of not making the sale and ending up stuck with a limited use …show more content…
In this stage there are rules concerning how long the product can be marketed as new. After the initial introduction time the marketing strategy could and should change in order to have the product seen by as many potential clients as possible. Once an item is accepted word of mouth advertising can be just as helpful as the continued mass media marketing strategies already in use. There have been a number of products that when introduced to the market immediately began to be accepted. A few simple toys such as the Furbies and Tickle-me-Elmo had their moment is the spotlight when introduced prior to Christmas and for some reason flew from the shelves faster than retailers could get them. This type of acceptance into the market would be great for any product as long as the demand was constant. Like the toys, many of today’s technological gadgets are sought after and with the mention of a new upgraded version of the phone, tablet, laptop, or other electronic toy drives people to preorder and wait in line for the date of the items release to the market. This is the acceptance that every developing company would love to have. With the acceptance of their product they will be able to quickly recover the money spent on research and development and product validation. Despite being the next latest

Business requirements are gathered in this stage. This stage is the main focus of the project managers and stake holders. It is performed by the senior members of the team with inputs from the customer, the sales department, market surveys and domain experts in the industry. This information is then used to plan the main project approach and to conduct product feasibility study in the economical, operational and technical areas. You identify needs of the software. This is the vital stage, because bad investigation may lead to the project
At the beginning of this paper I mentioned that there are eight stages in the psychosocial development theory starting with trust vs. mistrust. This stage begins at birth to one year of age. This is when I should have formed a trust with my primary caregiver or caregivers. My dad was absent most of this stage, so my mother was my primary caregiver. Since she never taught me good behavior, right from wrong, and was uncaring when I was born, I did not feel safe or secure around her. I was told through family members that she was unable to hold me without me screaming all the time, and that the doctor said I suffered from anxiety at infancy because I could feel the tension of my mother’s stress, anger, and anxiety towards me. The beginning of me learning to mistrust, and feeling
There are various theories of development which have an influence on current practices in schools today.
Manufacturers at this stage spend a lot of money in order to create awareness. The cash flow at this stage would not be very positive. A lot of money has been spent at the introduction to get the public to notice the product and to make them aware. I am not aware of this. The firm would not expect to make any profit at this stage as the product has just been launched.

My personal development plan to achieve my philosophy is by improving my skills in time management where I must create my own schedule to balance my career and family and follow the schedule with discipline. By doing this I will not have to drag the time to finish my assignment last minute and I will have more time for my family bonding. Before these can happen successfully I will have to practice to follow the schedule in a discipline manner. I will also need to read books on time management to further understand it. Besides I also can read online articles and journals about career woman managing both work and family well and putting family first before work but also not jeopardising the
Other potential entrants are retailers who can use third-party suppliers to produce their own branded toys with low prices displayed in their stores, shelves, and avoid paying costs. They do not need to invest a lot of money to develop new products or facilities. They are only able to find third-party suppliers to produce. Based on these three points, we believe that the threat of new entrants is high.
One branch of psychology is known as lifespan psychology, which is the study of the development of humans from birth until death. The study of a person’s lifespan is used to help other people overcome their developmental challenges through learning about how others deal with the various stages of development. According to Robert S. Feldman (2017) “lifespan development examines the way in which people develop physically, intellectually, and socially.” (p. 1) One of the best sources on how to get through a developmental period in life is to ask someone who has already gone through that phase. Therefore, Linda Peevely agreed to answer a few questions about the different stages she has gone through in her 77 years of life.
The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) consists of phases used in developing a piece of software. It is the plan of how to develop and maintain software, and when necessary, replace that software. In 2007 during my hospital’s transition to a new software system, I was fortunate enough to be included in the process. I did not get involved until the implementation phase, but from then on, until now, I remain very active in the process. I decided to highlight the Waterfall Model of SDLC. The Waterfall Model is a “sequential development process” with each phase continuing in a line (McGonigle and Mastrian, 2012, p. 205).
In this world, creating a new product, as good as it may be, is not enough. The success of any product, in this day and age, depends grandly on the way it is presented to the market. Marketing is responsible in assuring a successful launch of a product, new or reinvented, and to assure its sustainability in this competitive world. For those reasons, billions of dollars are spent each year on tools and strategies to improve marketing research and predict the success of a product: many marketing firms form focus groups, do trials and conduct many tests just to end up with a fairly high percentage of failures.
Process Management can be defined as a concept which helps integrate performance excellence and quality into the strategic management of organizations. Process management includes activities such as defining a process, establishing responsibilities, evaluating process performance and also identifying opportunities for improvement. Innovation, on the other hand, can be defined as the conversion of knowledge and ideas into new or improved products, processes or services to gain competitive advantage. After reading the first article it is clear that it focuses mainly on three different programs that are associated with process management. These three processes are listed as TQM, ISO 9000, and Six Sigma.
