Planned Obsolescence and the Product Lifecycle

Abstract:

Based mainly on an exploratory study of the dedicated literature, the paper is providing a general framework for planned obsolescence and contrived durability, and establishes its place in the product lifecycle, covering also the critics and the shortages, as well as appraisals and potential benefits that planned obsolescence is having for industrial manufacturers.
