This paper aims to respond to calls in academia for an update of the product lifecycle (PLC). Through a systematic literature review, the authors provide an updated agenda, which aims to advance the PLC concept in research, teaching and practice.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors started by surveying 101 marketing academics globally to ascertain whether a PLC update was viewed necessary and beneficial in the marketing community and thereafter conducted citation analysis of marketing research papers and textbooks to ascertain PLC usage. The subsequent literature review methodology was split into two sections. First, 97 empirical articles were reviewed based on an evaluative framework. Second, research pertaining to the PLC determinants were assessed and discussed.
From the results of this review and primary data from marketing academics, the authors find that the method of predicting the PLC based on past sales has been largely unsuccessful and perceived as somewhat outdated. However, a new stream of PLC literature is emerging, which takes a consumer-centric perspective to the PLC and has seen more success at modeling lifecycles in various industries.
Research limitations/implications
First, the study outlines the most contemporary and successful methodological approaches to modeling the PLC. Namely, the use of artificial intelligence, big data, demand modeling and consumer psychological mechanisms. Second, it provides several future research avenues using modern market trends such as sustainability, globalization, digitization and Covid-19 to push the PLC into the 21st century.
Originality/value
The PLC has shown to be resolutely popular in management application and education. However, without a continued effort in academic PLC research to update the knowledge around the concept, its use as a productive management tool will likely become outdated. This study provides a necessary and comprehensive literature update resulting in actionable future research and teaching agendas intended to advance the PLC concept into the modern market context.

This review examines the life cycle assessment (LCA) of alternative fuels (AF), evaluating current research on fuel types, LCA framework development, life cycle inventory (LCI), and impact selection.
Life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) is an assessment method capable of supporting decision makers toward a more sustainable system. In this paper, a systematic literature review regarding LCSA application in the energy field was performed. The main challenges, methodological approaches, and sustainability indicators used to perform LCSA studies in this sector were highlighted. Peer ...
Purpose Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the process of systematically assessing impacts when there is an interaction between the environment and human activity. Machine learning (ML) with LCA methods can help contribute greatly to reducing impacts. The sheer number of input parameters and their uncertainties that contribute to the full life cycle make a broader application of ML complex and ...
Underpinning the domain of life cycle sustainability assessment in residential buildings as ongoing research, the systematic literature review of existing literature using two databases web of science and Scopus was formed supported with bibliometric analysis using an open tool 'VOSviewer'.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a well-established methodology to quantify the environmental impacts of products, processes, and services. An advanced branch of this methodology, dynamic LCA, is increasingly used to reflect the variation in such potential impacts over time. The most common form of dynamic LCA focuses on the dynamism of the life cycle inventory (LCI) phase, which can be enabled ...
Abstract and Figures. This study addresses the pressing need to evaluate the life cycle assessment (LCA) of electric vehicles (EVs) in comparison to traditional vehicles, amid growing ...
This document is the first part of a research project to develop a life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology for Australian primary industries. It pr esents the findings of a literature review that ...
This article reviews relevant product life cycle models presented historically in the literature and divides them into two categories - the long-established marketing product life cycle model ...
The current article proposes a format for conducting a theoretical literature review, using path-goal leadership theory and the learning organization as two examples to showcase the benefits of using a theoretical literature review.
This study addresses the pressing need to evaluate the life cycle assessment (LCA) of electric vehicles (EVs) in comparison to traditional vehicles, amid growing environmental concerns and the quest for sustainable transportation alternatives. Through a systematic four-stage literature review, it strives to provide essential insights into the environmental impact, energy consumption, and ...

Another major difference between the selected publications was the scope of the study. Each study considered different aspects of the life cycle of the building; some only focused on energy use or materials, while others considered the entire life cycle but left out, for example, transportation impacts.
These days it is notable that the responsibilities regarding the environment are involving issues as climate change, changes in ecosystems, depletion of stratospheric ozone layer, even changes in hydrological systems, soil degradation, etc. Hence, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was created to evaluatethe consequences of the product's behavior on the environment. Through this analysis it will be ...
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is considered an innovative tool to analyze environmental impacts to make decisions aimed at improving the environmental performance of building materials and construction processes throughout different life cycle stages, including design, construction, use, operation, and end-of-life (EOL). Therefore, during the last two decades, interest in applying this tool in ...
Purpose The main purpose of this review is to investigate the methodology of social life cycle assessment (SLCA) through its application to case studies. In addition, the following research aims to define the trends related to the SLCA by researchers and consultants. This study will help to map the current situation and to highlight the hot spots and weaknesses of the application of the SLCA ...
This paper presents a comprehensive systematic literature review of life cycle assessment publications performed on primary pig production, defining their functional unit as "mass of pig live-weight". After the initial search in Scopus and Web of Science, a four-step screening process for eliminating results out of scope was applied, resulting in a total of seventy-four (74) studies. The ...
