Pricing for Strategic Managers

While all company executives know the importance of pricing, their knowledge about how to make sound pricing decisions is, in most cases, incomplete. Environmental changes, such as COVID-19, worldwide inflation, and regional wars, have given the pricing function significantly more attention, while there have been technological developments in digitalisation and artificial intelligence. This textbook tackles these changes head-on, providing an up-to-date discussion on the theory and practice of pricing.

Offering modern, relevant, practical examples, exercises and solutions, readers will gain a thorough and critical understanding of pricing in a digital world. Whilst grounded in theory, this book also offers practical tips and techniques that can be applied in local and international businesses. This book helps business students and company executives to deepen their knowledge of smart pricing.
