Building the Price Foundation and Arriving at the Final Price

While reading Chapter 13, I learned how to build the price foundation by the ratio of perceived benefits to price. Pricing has a direct effect on a firm's profits, which is determined by the profit equation, which is “Profit = Total Revenue – Total Cost”. That pricing objectives specify the role of price in a firm's marketing strategy and may include profit, sales revenue, market share, unit volume, survival, or some socially responsible price level. Pricing constraints that restrict a firm's pricing flexibility include demand, product newness, other products sold by the firm, production and marketing costs, cost of price changes, type of competitive market, and the prices of competitive substitutes. This was nice to read about, very fascinating.





While reading Chapter 14, I learned that demand, cost, profit, and competition influence the initial consideration of the approximate price level for a product of service. Demand-oriented pricing approaches stress consumer demand and revenue implications of pricing and include eight types, which are skimming, penetration, prestige, price lining, odd-even, target, bundle, and yield management. Cost-oriented pricing approaches emphasize the cost aspects of pricing and include three types, which are standard markup, cost-plus, and experience curve pricing. Profit-oriented pricing approaches focus on a balance between revenues and costs to set a price and include three types, which are target profit, target return-on-sales pricing, and target return-on-investment pricing. All of this was interesting to read, figuring out all these steps was nice to learn.

My Experiences With Understanding Consumer Behavior, Understanding Organizations as Customers, and Understanding and Reaching Global Consumers and Markets

When I worked on this weeks assignment I wasn't aware of the consumer purchase decision process in Chapter 5 and how it consists of five stages, problem recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase decision, and post purchase behavior. It was just one of those things I didn't really think about until now. When I got to Chapter 6, I learned that there are three different organizational markets , which are industrial, reseller, and government. It was fascinating reading about all the different markets and how they operate. It must take a lot of work to keep all that together. When I got to Chapter 7, I got to learn all about how a global perspective on world trade views exports and imports as complementary economic flows, which are a country's imports affect its exports and exports affect its imports. It was really interesting to read how all that worked. I loved doing the questions on Chapter 7 the most, really interesting information about Japan an...

Reaction Paper: Consumer Decision Process

Image
When I want to make a purchase on something, I think. what do I want? Do I want something that's related to my hobbies, like wrestling or video games? Do I need to buy anything like Fathers Day gifts? Do I want to buy something at a discount at the store I work at? When I want to purchase something related to my hobbies, 9 times out of 10 I will go to Amazon to see if they have what I'm looking for. Its usually things like toys to collect or a video game accessory that would look nice to own.  If I wanted to wait and buy something at my store, something like vitamins or things my family wants while I'm there, then I would buy those things with the employee discount I have.

The Final WebLog

When I got to Chapter 7, I got to learn all about how a global perspective on world trade views exports and imports as complementary economic flows, which are a country's imports affect its exports and exports affect its imports. It was really interesting to read how all that worked. I loved doing the questions on Chapter 7 the most, really interesting information about Japan and how an American commercial wouldn't be as successful in Japan like it would in America. While reading Chapter 10, I learned that f rom the important perspective of the consumer, newness is often seen as the degree of learning that a consumer must engage in to use the product. With continuous innovation, no new behaviors must be learned. With dynamically continuous innovation, only minor behavioral changes are needed. With a discontinuous innovation, consumers must learn entirely new consumption patterns.  I never thought of it that way, so this was a new learning experience for me. While reading...
