In the decline stage of the PLC, a weak product can result in the need for frequent price and inventory adjustments, advertising and salesforce attention, and additional financial analysis. However, it is less likely that there will be few customer concerns about the company's image, as a weak product can harm the company's reputation and image in the market.
