Product cycle theory - Product cycle theory

Japanese: プロダクト･サイクル理論 - プロダクトサイクルりろん（英語表記）product cycle theory

A dynamic international division of labor theory related to individual goods proposed by the American political economist Raymond Vernon (1913- ). Vernon focused on the fact that goods, like living organisms, have a life cycle from birth to growth, maturity, and eventually decline, and discussed how the pattern of the international division of labor changes through these various phases. During the creation stage of goods, research and development, as well as commercialization, are essential, and because the unit price is high, they are produced in countries with abundant capital and excellent technological capabilities, and are then exported to developed countries with high income levels.

アメリカの政治経済学者バーノンRaymond Vernon(1913‐　)が唱えた個別商品にかかわる動態的国際分業理論。バーノンは，商品が生物と同様に出生から成長を経て成熟し，やがては衰退するというライフ･サイクルをもつことに注目し，国際分業のパターンがそれらの諸局面を通じてどのように変化するかを論じた。商品の生成期には，研究開発，さらには企業化が必要不可欠であり，また単価がかさむため，資本が豊富で技術力にすぐれた諸国で生み出され，所得水準の高い先進諸国に輸出される。
