  Description  
     
  Are you pricing too high or too low? Do you have the right pricing process to help you capture the value you have created in the marketplace? Studies have shown that pricing is the most critical profit driver in today's competitive business environment. Yet few firms think systematically about their pricing strategies or acquire the confidence to leverage their pricing strategies to capture maximum value. An ad hoc pricing strategy or a trial-and-error approach to pricing can significantly reduce a firm's bottom line.  
   
     
  Objective  
     
  The objective of the programme is to help participants to acquire confidence and capability in analysing a pricing environment and in engineering a price structure.  
   
     
  Participants  
     
  This programme is essential for anyone responsible for designing, evaluating, and implementing pricing strategies, or for executives charged with ensuring the overall profitability of the firm. In particular, mid-to-senior-level executives in product development, marketing, or accounting and finance will benefit from this programme.

  Comments From Participants
 

Professor Willem Burgers developed a quite unique perspective on pricing strategy. The 3-day programme not only discussed matured marketing cases, but also covered such areas as management philosophy and practices, which were deeply rooted in the market of China, and therefore, very useful. The professor's in-class teaching was both vivid and humorous, and what he has taught in the programme, I believe, will give me great inspirations in terms of mangement thinking, especially in its dimensions and depth.
