Download or read book Game Changer written by Jean-Manuel Izaret and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The right pricing strategy can change the entire trajectory of a business, a market, and even society at large. To help you create your best pricing strategy efficiently and confidently, two leaders from BCG are introducing fresh perspectives on pricing that take you far beyond the realm of mind-numbing numbers. In their new book Game Changer: How Strategic Pricing Shapes Businesses, Markets, and Society, Jean-Manuel Izaret and Arnab Sinha simplify and clarify pricing strategy by integrating its many frameworks and concepts into seven distinct pricing games, each with its own proven tools, rules, forces, and structures. To help you pick the right game and play it well, Izaret and Sinha have developed the Strategic Pricing Hexagon, a tool refined through years of testing, iteration, and adaptation. The Hexagon is your portal to a business world where stronger growth and better financial performance come from a set of strategic pricing decisions, not endless myopic quests for optimal prices. But more than that, the Hexagon will change the way you think about and talk about pricing. The current conversation around pricing – as expressed through economics textbooks, Excel spreadsheets, political discourse, and educated guesswork – makes it easy to believe that pricing is nothing more than a technical, tactical and, for most people, boring game of numbers. Game Changer changes that conversation bysharing stories and research that bring the Hexagon and its seven pricing games to life. With research from BCG’s Bruce Henderson Institute and real-world examples from the world's most influential companies, the authors and their colleagues at BCG define pricing strategy as a business leader’s or business owner’s conscious decisions about how money flows in their market. They show how companies succeed in the long term when they focus on collaborative growth and value sharing with customers, not zero-sum value extraction from them. Discover how you can create and implement a winning pricing strategy that changes the trajectory of your business, your market, and even society.
Download or read book Market Oriented Pricing written by Michael Morris and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-04-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important contribution to marketing literature, this volume offers a comprehensive guide to market-based pricing strategies. The authors present pricing as a relatively simple, but extremely powerful marketing tool--a creative variable which managers can manipulate to accomplish a wide variety of ends. Arguing that companies must move away from the traditional, short-term, reactive methods relied upon to set and manage prices, the authors call for a systematic, strategic and market-based approach to the pricing problem. Their central unifying theme is that pricing begins and ends with the customer and that every pricing action should be part of a larger pricing program build around the realities of customer needs and competitor pressures. Written with a minimum of jargon and amply illustrated with explanatory tables and figures, this is an excellent introduction to pricing for both seasoned and aspiring marketing and product managers. Morris and Morris begin by examining the overall concept of price as a statement of value. Subsequent chapters offer in-depth guidance on the development of market-based pricing, addressing such critical issues as pricing strategy over the product life cycle, linking pricing and marketing strategy, understanding and using elasticity, the psychology of pricing, and negotiating prices with customers. Particular attention is paid to the question of price differentials--charging different prices to different classes of consumers--and the legal and ethical ramifications of adopting strategies based on price differentials. The authors also explore cost-based pricing, industry and competitor analysis, pricing across the product line, and computers as an aid in pricing. Throughout, references to real-world cases and problems helps the manager to relate the concepts of market-based pricing to the pricing decisions and considerations actually confronted on the job.

Download or read book Price for Growth written by Jeff Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Price for GrowthThe most important objective of any pricing strategy should be to improve the value of the company. But without a practical framework for connecting pricing strategies to company value, most companies fall back to the default pricing strategy of margin expansion, which can undermine the growth and retention of valuable customer relationships needed to power sustainable profit growth to maximize company value.Price for Growth explains in pragmatic terms how and why growth-focused pricing strategies typically outperform profit-focused pricing strategies, when it comes to increasing long-term company value. It promises to challenge conventional thinking about traditional profit-driven pricing strategies.With over twenty years' experience leading, designing, selling, and implementing pricing solutions used by hundreds of companies, the author provides practical insights and a prescribed step-by-step approach to transform pricing strategies to the growth-focused strategies necessary to capture, retain, and grow customer relationships in the new reality of digitally enabled customers. He makes concepts easy to understand though the use of "case parables" to illustrate key points.After establishing the foundation of the "five sacred metrics of pricing success," which directly connect to the value of the company, he demonstrates how to utilize these metrics to identify the highest impact opportunities to grow the value of the company through focused pricing strategies. This is followed by the building blocks of successful pricing strategies based on the respective improvement objective, including strategies to increase customer acquisition, increase existing customer revenues, reduce customer churn, expand margins, or reduce risk.Price for Growth is a must read for any CEO, CFO, or any other executive / manager who has responsibility for pricing and growth at any company who sells to repeat customers. Those who purchase the book can gain access to a companion website which includes downloadable example tools, presentations, and price communication templates to aid in the implementation of the recommended approaches at the reader's own company.
