Abstract

In Today’s neck-to-neck competitive environment, every firm plans to launch a successive version of its product on a frequent basis. This process has been widely studied in recent past and many proposals can be seen in literature. Also, plenty of works are available with respect to multi-stage diffusion dynamics. However, very less attention has been given to the theme wherein, both these aforesaid concepts have been studied together. This study is an attempt to model the both concept under one canopy. Furthermore, due to non-availability of closed form solutions, authors have utilized a well-known numerical method technique of Runge-Kutta for the analytical part. Real life sales data for two technological products have been utilized. Result obtained are very encouraging.
