In today's hypercompetitive global marketplace, a company's pricing policy can make or break the bottom line. Yet a surprising number of firms attempt to increase profits without the aid of a carefully and creatively designed pricing strategy. Now, in this long-awaited book, the world's two leading price experts Robert J. Dolan and Hermann Simon take managers beyond conventional thinking to show how their breakthrough system of ""power pricing"" will improve the bottom line by an order of magnitude. They destroy popular but not necessarily financially savvy ideas on pricing, such as relying on a standard markup on cost rule. They expose as passive the ""strategy"" of letting the market or a competitor ""set the price"". But the key is in what they provide: the tools by which the pedestrian pricer can become a ""power pricer"" who achieves quantum leaps in financial performance by aggressively implementing sophisticated pricing strategies. The authors argue that firms must view pricing as a key and highly manageable element in the profit equation, worthy of attention equal | Power Pricing by Hermann Simon, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
