About Programme
Pricing is one of the most powerful levers for driving profitability, yet it is often underutilized or applied without strategic rigor in many organizations. In today’s environment—marked by evolving customer expectations, intensifying competition, digital business models, and increasing cost pressures—executives must master both the strategic and tactical dimensions of pricing.
This executive education programme is designed to equip decision-makers with the robust frameworks, analytical tools, and behavioral insights required to make more informed and confident pricing decisions.
The programme provides a comprehensive exploration of pricing from multiple perspectives: customer value and willingness to pay, demand elasticity, cost structures, psychological triggers, bundling strategies, promotions, and competitive responses. It combines rigorous analytical techniques—such as pricing response models and activity-based costing—with behavioral insights into how consumers perceive and react to prices. Special emphasis is placed on digital pricing models, including dynamic and personalized pricing.
Through a blend of case discussions, conceptual sessions, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn to diagnose pricing challenges, develop value-based pricing strategies, and avoid common pitfalls such as price wars or cost-plus thinking. Real-world cases from industries such as consumer goods, digital platforms, industrial products, and services help translate ideas into practice.
This programme is ideally suited for mid- to senior-level professionals involved in marketing, sales, finance, and strategy, as well as entrepreneurs and product managers seeking to enhance their pricing capabilities. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with actionable tools to design pricing strategies that enhance both customer value and business profitability.
