Abstract
Due to their hardly predictable progress through life cycle phases, innovations are particularly challenging for a company's supply chain. For an adequate adaption of the supply chain strategy it is necessary to timely identify life cycle phase transitions. This paper proposes an indicator-based framework for the determination of an innovation's life cycle phase transitions in order to timely align the supply chain strategy. The findings are a crucial step in designing a holistic approach for the efficient design of supply chains along an innovation's life cycle.
