Answer:

C. to create awareness, organize customer trials, and develop a market for the product

Explanation:

The introduction stage is the first one in the product life cycle. At this stage, the product has just been launched in the market. The sales growth rate is low as customers are not aware of the commodity. The business incurs losses by having the product in the market.

The marketing goal at this stage is to create awareness about this product. The business makes efforts to create demand through promotions and awareness creation. The stage is associated with heavy advertisements as the business tries to popularize and establish a market share for the product.

Why does actual group productivity never equal potential productivity?

Rama09 [41]

The answer to the question is (C) time is lost to coordinating and organizing group members.

Actual group productivity is never quite equal to the expected productivity mainly because there are other processes involved in the team that the team members must do in order to reach the set common goal. Some of these processes usually include determining how to do the work and distributing the assignments to the right person, as well as setting the roles in the team.
