This document discusses pricing strategy and key considerations for setting prices. It covers:
1) The importance of pricing in determining revenue and profitability. Pricing balances value for customers and financial returns.
2) Elements of pricing including cost-based vs value-based approaches, and understanding a product's true economic value versus perceived value.
3) Customizing prices based on customer and transaction characteristics to maximize value and sales.
Here's a presentation on HBS reading material on Pricing Strategy clearly describing the Perceived Value, True Economic Value and the actual price of a product. The importance of pricing can hardly be over-emphasized. Just to give a quick hint at it consider the example of Walmart - just 1% improvement in price realisation could have resulted in 27% improvement in net profit for world's largest retailer in the year 2013-14!

This document reviews best practice in pricing processes to provide a reference against which current practices and proposals can be tested. Our objectives have been: to research the attributes of world-class pricing through publications and academic sources; to investigate how these attributes are applied in practice to products and services; to assess pricing processes in successful businesses.
In recent years a new attitude toward pricing has emerged. Deregulation and international free trade agreements have increased competition. Price promotion has eroded the power of brand loyalty. Pricing has assumed greater importance to most businesses.
As markets increasingly assume a global dimension, customers can more easily compare prices between one region or country and another, using the internet or a fax machine. They can often locate the same product, or an
acceptable substitute, from another source. Customers are more demanding and fickle, and their expectations increasingly difficult to fulfil.
Price inflation in western economies is now at its lowest for decades. Price increases are no longer accepted without protest from customers, if at all.
The Chairman of General Electric has predicted the onset of the ‘Value Decade’. Global price competition will strengthen because of: reduced product differentiation; global over-capacity for production; significantly diminished trade barriers; efficient information and distribution systems; providing customers with easy access to the prices of suppliers; a growing lack of customers’ loyalty to individual suppliers. Choice will be increasingly driven by price.
This is a challenging scenario that reinforces the need for an integrated strategy and concerted managerial action on pricing.
Pricing processes have lagged behind developments in the market place. They are often characterised by internal conflict between accountants wishing to maximise profit per unit and marketing specialists who seek to maximise
throughput. They are also affected by the potential for strained relations with good customers.
Some companies have downsized their operations to a level where diminishing returns cause them to question the benefits of continuing to focus upon reducing costs. As they switch their attention from cost cutting to adding
value, pricing naturally assumes increased weight in the marketing mix.
We have found many companies reluctant to discuss their own processes.
Some may wish to avoid betraying a lack of sophistication.
