Pricing Strategies and Tools

Tragically, most graduates of MBA programs, even those concentrating in marketing, have very little exposure to the vital concept of strategic pricing. In our Pricing Strategies and Tools course, participants will obtain a clear understanding of strategic pricing concepts, including segmentation and pricing decisions, strategies and tools for value based pricing with reference to customer value analysis, how to create pricing “fences,” plus perceived value pricing and economic value pricing. Following this program, participants will have the ability to apply these strategies and tools to relevant pricing and re-pricing decisions with the goal of creating superior customer value, profitably.
