    False

    Explanation:

    International Product Cycle is a model that patterns international manufacturing & trade of product. It has 4 stages:

    Introduction - Innovated Invention in a developed country. Limited production & consumption, no competition Growth - Spread to other developed countries, foreign production & competition starts, consumption & coverage rise. Maturity - Spread to developing countries, stagnant growth in developed countries & fast growth in less developed countries Decline - Spread to less developed countries, technology outdated, various substitutes emerge & no. of sellers decline, demand still exist in less developed countries.

    So: the next stage after 'Innovated Invention' in a developed country X is - its growth in other developed countries, not 'manfacturing in developing countries' (reflected in 3rd maturity stage).
