How Typical is the Life Cycle Pattern?
• Technology-intensive industries (e.g. pharmaceuticals,
semiconductors, computers) may retain features of
emerging industries.
• Other industries (especially those providing basic
necessities, e.g. food processing, construction, apparel)
reach maturity, but not decline.
• Industries may experience life cycle regeneration.

• Life cycle model can help us to anticipate industry
evolution—but dangerous to assume any common, pre-
determined pattern of industry development.

Preparing for the Future : The Role of Scenario
Analysis in Adapting to Industry Change
Stages in undertaking multiple Scenario Analysis:
• Identify major forces driving industry change
• Predict possible impacts of each force on the industry
environment
• Identify interactions between different external forces
• Among range of outcomes, identify 2-4 most likely/ most
interesting scenarios: configurations of changes and
outcomes
• Consider implications of each scenario for the company
• Identify key signposts pointing toward the emergence of
each scenario
• Prepare contingency plan
