Student are expected to offer a clear and cogent response to each question (5 total questions) using their recalled knowledge, functional understanding, and interpretive application of may referenced material.I have attached the instructors notes covering material related to the questions. There CANNOT be more than 15% referenced material in this assignment. Q1. Describe the concept of inelasticity as it impacts on the development of a market-based or competition-driven price for a manufacturing-related semi-finished or sub-assembly product. What effect does the supplier of such a product using differentiation value have on this type of elasticity? What role, if any, does product differentiation have on the Economic Value of such a product? Explain your answer. Q2. What are the segmented structures (i.e., different prices to different buyers for different applications) that affect strategic pricing? What roles do price-offer configuration, price metrics, price fences and gain-loss framing play in segmented structures, and how do they affect a pricing decision? Explain your answer. Q3. The Nagle, et.al textbook states: Ultimately, the success of pricing strategy depends upon customers being willing [and able] to pay the price you charge. How would you, as the supplier, implement a value-based pricing policy in a business-to-business (B to B) marketplace if you were using (a) a differentiated value or (b) psychological value relative to a product or service? Does it make a difference if you are using tactical pricing or strategic pricing? Describe the rationale for your answer. Q4. What are the stages in a products life cycle? In which of these stages would a value-based pricing strategy be appropriate, and how would / could a supplier communicate the price / value in order to set profit maximizing prices across market segments? Explain your answer. Q5. There are three (3) primary factors, according to the Nagle, et.al. textbook, that adversely affect the implementation and maintenance of a suppliers pricing strategies. What are these factors that contribute to failure of pricing strategies, and how would a firm mitigate the negative impact of these primary factors? Explain your answer.
