Price Management
Autor Hermann Simon, Martin Fassnachten Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 dec 2018
Problema centrală pe care o rezolvă Price Management este deconectarea dintre valoarea percepută de client și prețul stabilit de producător, o eroare strategică ce erodează profitabilitatea pe termen lung. Remarcăm modul în care autorii Hermann Simon și Martin Fassnacht depășesc limitele tradiționale ale „politicii de preț”, propunând în schimb un proces riguros de management integrat. Ca și Georg Müller în The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing, autorii distilează experiența reală în principii acționabile, însă această lucrare se distinge prin actualitatea sa tehnologică. Subliniem analiza detaliată a noilor modele economice, de la flat rates și freemium până la impactul Big Data și al criptomonedelor asupra sistemelor de prețuri. Structura cărții este una progresivă și exhaustivă: primele capitole fundamentează strategia și economia prețului, urmate de o explorare profundă a psihologiei consumatorului, culminând cu secțiuni aplicate pentru bunuri industriale, retail și servicii. În contextul operei sale, această ediție publicată de Springer reprezintă o sinteză academică și practică superioară față de lucrări precum Beating Inflation, unde accentul era pus pe supraviețuirea în condiții de criză. Aici, focusul este pe construcția unei valori sustenabile. Reținem că volumul nu se limitează la teorie, ci oferă zeci de studii de caz care demonstrează cum inovația în metricele de preț poate deveni cel mai puternic motor de creștere a valorii pentru acționari.

Descriere scurtă
Going beyond the traditional constraints of “price theory” and “price policy,” the authors coined the term “price management” to represent a holistic approach to pricing strategy and tactical implementation. They remind us that the Ancient Romans used one word, pretium, to mean both price and value. This is the fundamental philosophy that drives successful price management where producer and customer meet.
Featuring dozens of examples and case studies drawn from their extensive research, consulting, and teaching around the world, Simon and Fassnacht cover all aspects of pricing following the price management process with its four phases: strategy, analysis, decision, and implementation. Thereby, the authors take into account the nuances across industry sectors, including consumer goods, industrial products, services, and trade/distribution. In particular, they address the implications of technological advancements, such as the Internet and new measurement and sensor technologies that have led to a wealth of price management innovations, such as flat rates, freemium, pay-per-use, or pay-what-you-want. They also address the emergence of new price metrics, Big Data applications, two-sided price systems, negative prices, and the sharing economy, as well as emerging payment systems such as bitcoin.
The result is a “bible” for leaders who recognize that price is not only a means to drive profit in the short term, but a tool to generate sustained growth in shareholder value over the longer term, and a primer for researchers, instructors, and students alike.
