Reviews
"This book is a treasure—a practical yet
intellectually sound guide to pricing that is applicable to both large and small
companies. Frankly, in all my years writing about economics and covering
corporate decision making, I have not seen pricing strategy and tactics
explained so clearly as in this book"
-Michael Mandel, former chief
economist, BusinessWeek, and editor-in-chief, Visible Economy LLC
"This book is both insightful and practical. Many companies overlook the
substantial profit opportunities from smart pricing. The authors show you not
only where to look for, but also how to capture and sustain those
opportunities."

Company

with concise and easily applied coverage of each and every topic."
