Dynamic Pricing

Pricing Objectives involve specifying the role of price in an organization’s marketing and strategic plans. These

Loyalty programs include frequent flier miles or points systems associated with credit card offers that can be used only with the original company, creating a perceived loss or cost when switching to a competitor. Most programs are able to get consumers to spend more money just to get to free or bonus item.

It will further go on to explain the complexity associated with expansion and the creative ways to converge interests of the managers and stockholders.

Amongst other sports, baseball is a sport that has been known to evoke nostalgic feelings from Americans. It is truly an American game that many played when they were little children. It has been named many fondling names like “the national pastime”, and “America’s democratic game. Its popularity also comes from the fact that it does not discriminate players. People of above average height and weight can play. Amateurs played an informal version of baseball dating back to 18th century. Most people accredited Abner Doubleday with inventing baseball but Alexander Cartwright is known as the “father of baseball” due to establishing the rules as well as the layout of the field. The love of the game started during the Civil War which spread this

Like the case for colectomy, Table 6 shows the results of two pricing regressions. An indicator variable for health system was included in model 1, while different types of health system variables were included in model 2. The number of comorbid conditions was significantly associated with the risk-adjusted CABG price. Having one comorbidity condition increased the risk-adjusted CABG price by 3.2 percent (model 1) and 3 percent (model 2). In addition, three or more comorbidity conditions were associated with a 14 percent (model 2) increase in the risk-adjusted CABG price. In addition, an increase in the number of venous treated was significantly associated with the risk-adjusted CABG price. The risk-adjusted CABG

Pricing strategy associated with services is typically more complex than the pricing of tangible goods. As a consumer, what pricing issues do you consider when purchasing services? How difficult is it to compare prices among competing services, or to determine the complete price of the service before purchase? What could service providers do to solve these issues?

My project this summer was to create a pricing strategy for a simulation that would return the maximum frequency of pictures spread evenly across a given number of locations. I began by implementing a simple simulation in which I used Math.Random() to repeatedly generate a number between zero and thirty, thirty being the set number of locations. I then used the random number generated as an array index and increased the picture count in the location that the number corresponded to by one. Each location had a set price so all I did was generate location indexes until the budget was met. After I finished this very basic simulation, I started contemplating my project focus which was the pricing strategy I needed to implement. One of the original ideas suggested to me was the Poisson Distribution in which I could model the simulation as number of pictures taken over a period of time. I could then allocate more or less of the budget to a time slot based on how many pictures were taken in the previous time period.

The article “Personalized Pricing” by Olga Kharif explores the emerging and growing concept of personalized pricing and loyalty programs. The author offers the example of a shopping mother that logs on to Safeway’s Just for U site to see her personalized offers. When she logs on, she views process set for her by algorithms, on items she buys frequently. Later, at the supermarket, she starts shopping using an electronic list that keep track of her specials, and finally checks out using her Club Card or phone number and receives the discounts she loaded; while Safeway gets more information to tailor future marketing pitches.

FUT pricing has attractive properties compared to usage-based pricing; it reduces utility variance by bundling plan units, and thus it satisfies diverse consumer needs and could thus enhance firm profits. FUT pricing also has a key advantage over flat rate pricing; by having more than one price point, FUT pricing makes it efficient and flexible to accommodate heterogeneous consumer needs, making it possible to increase total social welfare (combination of firm profit and consumer surplus). However, since FUT menu pricing is generally more difficult than flat rate pricing to implement in practice, it is useful to understand “when” and “by how much” FUT pricing can perform better compared to flat rate pricing in terms of firm’s profits, consumer surplus, and social welfare. Therefore, we aim at deriving an optimal solution for FUT menu pricing to both extend the literature on the pricing of information services and also to enhance managerial practice by testing our model with sophisticated analytical and empirical techniques.
