Decisions
Price Discrimination
Predatory Pricing
Unfair Trade Practice Acts
Laws that prohibit
wholesalers & retailers
from manipulating prices –to
manipulate markets
#1=Exaggerated Comparative Price
Advertising
 Using comparison prices of dubious
validity -Product introduced at
artificially high prices for short time
then dropped to a new low long-term
price
#2=Price Fixing.. agreement betw. two
or more firms on price
they will charge
for product.
#3=Price Discrimination
The Robinson-Patman Act
of 1936:
Prohibits any firm from
selling to two or more
different buyers
at different prices
… if the result would lessen
competition
#4=Predatory Pricing
The practice of charging a
very low price for a
product with the intent of
driving competitors out of
business or out of a
market…

Oracle Retail Price Optimization

-provides targeted capabilities - allow you to sharpen your
pricing policies & drive higher profits.

Consider key demand drivers such as price elasticity,
seasonality, cross-elasticity, and targeted price elasticity
models at the item and store level

Recommend the exact minimum relative price gap need to
compete effectively for each store or key-item

Predict the whole-store revenue and margin impact of a key
item price change

Provide what-if decision support to simulation options prior to
executing the strategy
Key- not get Right Price
But- Get Price Right
 Which
price is right?
Software-using algorithms to
calibrate
– how much need to buy
– how to promote &
merchandize
– and how to price it
OR- don’t charge anything at all !
Wired's Editor In
Chief Chris
Anderson discusses
why $0.00 is the
future of business
20th Century: “Atoms Economy”
•Things get more expensive
• Free = direct subsidy
“No such thing as a free lunch”
21st Century: “Bits Economy”
•Things get cheaper
• Free = indirect subsidy
“The best things in life are free”
Free’s hard: needs an upgrade path
Econ 101
“In a competitive market
price falls to the
marginal cost”
Cost to stream a movie: $0.06
Round down!
If the unitary cost of
something is approaching
zero, treat it as zero and
sell something else.
