Explanation:

Raymond Vernon developed the Product Life Cycle Theory in response to the Heckscher-Ohlin model and confronted it directly. Vernon's theory states that a product's life cycle starts in the area which it was invented and it will gradually move towards other regions of the world.  

Vernon was an American and he developed his theory by studying a large number of new products developed and sold in the US. His model included 5 stages:

  2. Growth
  3. Maturity
  4. Saturation
  5. Decline
