The Price Advantage de Walter L Baker

The Price Advantage : Wiley Finance, cartea 535

Autor Walter L Baker, Michael V Marn, Craig C Zawada
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iun 2010

În actualul context economic marcat de volatilitate și presiuni constante asupra marjelor, prețul rămâne cea mai puternică pârghie de profit la îndemâna managementului. Cu toate acestea, puține organizații îl tratează ca pe o disciplină strategică riguroasă. Recomandăm The Price Advantage, un volum de referință semnat de experții McKinsey & Company, care transformă stabilirea prețurilor dintr-o reacție la piață într-un avantaj competitiv sustenabil. Ne-a atras atenția rigoarea cu care Walter L Baker, Michael V Marn și Craig C Zawada demonstrează că excelența în pricing nu este un eveniment izolat, ci o ierarhie interdependentă. Cartea este structurată metodic: începe cu fundamentele economice ale raportului preț/volum, avansează spre analiza tranzacțională prin celebrul instrument 'pocket price waterfall' și culminează cu strategii de piață complexe. Complementar volumului Pricing Decoded, care se concentrează pe tranziția spre un pricing robust în condiții de criză, The Price Advantage oferă o adâncime analitică superioară prin utilizarea hărților de valoare și a analizei comportamentale a competitorilor. Veți învăța să identificați scurgerile de profit ascunse în discounturi și promoții aparent inofensive și să implementați modele de preț stratificate sau specifice produselor software. Această a doua ediție extinde conceptele clasice către economia digitală, oferind soluții pentru produse configurabile și linii de produse cu volum mare. Este un manual de execuție care nu se limitează la teorie, ci oferă cadrul necesar pentru a captura valoarea reală pe care compania o livrează clienților săi.

Descriere

A comprehensive look at creating pricing strategies that work in both good economic times and bad
Written by three preeminent pricing experts at McKinsey & Company, the Second Edition of The Price Advantage is a practical pricing guide for the executive or pricing practitioner who wants to identify, capture, and sustain substantial pricing gains in their business.
Pricing is by far the most powerful profit lever that managers can influence. Yet few companies approach pricing in a way that fully capitalizes on its value. This Second Edition, a major revision and extension of the first book, shows you what it takes to achieve the price advantage in today′s competitive and complex business environments. Based on in–depth, first–hand experience with thousands of companies, this book provides managers with a pragmatic guide through the maze of pricing issues. It reinforces why pricing excellence is more critical than ever today and then explains state–of–the–art approaches to analyzing and improving your own pricing strategy and execution.

  • Explores the fundamental role of pricing infrastructure in achieving the price advantage
  • Includes new topics such as software and information products pricing, lifecycle pricing, custom–configured products pricing, pricing of high–count product lines, pricing in distributed sales environments, "razor/razor blades" pricing, and tiered products and services pricing
  • Revisits the full range of classic McKinsey pricing tools, including the pocket price waterfall and value maps

Engaging and informative, the Second Edition of The Price Advantage will put this essential discipline in perspective.
