Option A all the way. This is a classic case of the product life cycle going global. Although I have to say, the international customers got a bit too clever there at the end.

A lower cost, huh? Looks like someone's trying to undercut the original producer. Time to call the trade police! Just kidding, but this definitely seems like the international product life cycle theory.

It's interesting how products evolve and move through different stages in the global market. The international product life cycle theory explains this phenomenon well.

I'm going to go with option A. The sequence of events matches up with the international product life cycle theory. Nice try, Rolande, but I don't think the comparative advantage theory quite fits here.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The part about international customers offering the product back at a lower cost makes me think this could be the theory of comparative advantage instead.

I agree, it does sound more like the Theory of Comparative Advantage based on the example provided.

I see your point, but I believe it actually aligns more with the International Product Life Cycle Theory. It involves the evolution of a product from domestic to international markets.

I think you might be onto something there. The stages described do seem to align with the Theory of Comparative Advantage.

But it could also be the International Product Life Cycle Theory, since it involves expanding to international markets.
