Top executives are in charge of overall pricing strategy. They identify the fundamental market segment ranges into which the product falls. Pricing mechanisms are handled at lower levels of the organization, with an emphasis on particular product strategy. Typically, a team of manufacturing and marketing experts collaborate to determine the pricing.]]> 2022-07-07 06:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hanghtueh/haqh3xhome7kxpyu/wish/2238752513 Competition: Pricing decisions are impacted by competitive situations.

When the demand for the goods is more and the supply of the goods is constant, the price of the goods can be increased and if the demand for the goods decreases the price of the goods should be decreased to survive in the market. 

Eg. Gasoline is an inelastic demand example, because the amount people buy remains roughly the same, even when prices increase. Likewise, they don't buy much more even if the price drops.

- the French, Mexico, and Brazil are extremely anxious about their spending on food.
--> People consider carefully while consuming food --> the demand in food industry may be elastic.

- In Chinese, the number 8 is a number that signifies good luck and good fortune whereas the number 4 signifies bad luck.  A pricing manager could use this insight to make sure price endings are set not just to achieve the highest margin but also to prevent negative perception of the product because of its price.

It is equally important to forecast the possible competitors' reactions to price changes. An understanding of the way a competitor approaches its pricing decisions will make it possible to better predict the likely response to a change in market condition.

If you are a Supplier/ Producer, your price could be varied due to the commissions offered from the third party/distributors require too high and your price has to be adjusted. Especially, in the case, each distributor could have distinct prices after they have imported your goods.
