This paper examines the relationship between organization size, product life-cycle stage, market position, balanced scorecard (BSC) usage and organizational performance. Using financial and nonfinancial measures, the BSC appraises four dimensions of performance: customers, financial (or shareholders), learning and growth, and internal aspects. Based on a survey of 66 Australian manufacturing companies, the paper suggests that larger firms make more use of a BSC. In addition, firms that have a higher proportion of new products have a greater tendency to make use of measures related to new products. A firm's market position has not been found to be associated significantly with greater BSC usage. The paper also suggests that greater BSC usage is associated with improved performance, but this relationship does not depend significantly on organization size, product life cycle, or market position.

  Pricing strategies differ for each stage of the product life cycle. Although each stage of product life has its own peculiarities and challenges, the most difficult and challenging stage is setting prices for new products. Therefore, this was the reason which aroused our curiosity to do a research which is based on the theoretical and practical plane on this issue. Initially, the literature of various authors who have contributed in the field of pricing policy for products and services in general was reviewed. Based on this analysis, a very good foundation has been laid to understand the role and importance of pricing for new products, and the most used pricing strategies for this category of products have described and analyzed. From the theoretical analysis, conclusions have been drawn which have served as a supporting basis of the practical part of the paper. To make this research more thorough, we reviewed a special case study of the local manufacturing company Pestova l.l.c, which managed to launch several new products in the market of Kosovo and the Region. In this case study, the pricing strategies that this company has selected for the products launched in the market were analyzed. Finally, the conclusions that have emerged as a result of the analysis and the literature review and the concrete data obtained from the case study for the company Pestova are provided.

The research location was in Malang Raya area which consists of Malang Regency, Malang City, and Batu City. Data collection was obtained from thirty-one respondents who were the owners of apple chips SMEs in Malang Raya. Data analysis for cluster classification used the product life cycle stage and performance improvement using artificial neural networks for prediction of sales production and determination of dominant variables based on Cronbach's alpha and dominant indicators based on corrected item-total correlations. The results showed that stage 1 was 2 SMEs, stage 2 was 16 SMEs, stage 3 was 11 SMEs and stage 2 was SMEs. Improving the performance of apple chip SMEs in Malang Raya through sales predictions in 2019-2023 is more focused on improving innovation through the ability to see the development of consumer tastes and follow the development of technology related to product processing and marketing.

Additive Fertigung (AF) hat viele Potenziale, zum Beispiel bei der Ersatzteilproduktion und bei der Individualisierung. Technologische Aspekte werden aktuell umfassend beforscht, Betrachtungen mit Blick auf den Produktlebenszyklus (PLZ) erfolgen jedoch nicht ganzheitlich. Dieser Artikel behandelt daher die Auswirkungen auf produzierende Unternehmen durch die Einführung von AF. Die Betrachtung von Potenzialen und Risiken entlang des PLZ verdeutlicht die Komplexität, die mit der Einführung von AF verbunden ist. &nbsp; Additive Manufacturing (AM) has many potentials, e.g. in spare parts production and individualization. Technological aspects are comprehensively covered in current literature, but considerations with regard to the product life cycle (PLC) are not holistic. This article, therefore, deals with the effects on manufacturing companies through the introduction of AM. The consideration of potentials and risks along the PLC illustrates the complexity associated with the introduction of AM.

The development of new technologies and innovation processes lead companies to improve their processes, resulting in new products all the time. Throughout the product life cycle, a firm incurs various costs related to the activities carried out in the pre-production, production and post-production phases. The essence of strategic management tools is to optimize costs throughout the product life cycle, focusing on the different stages. Such tools include target costing, kaizen and life cycle costing
