About the Course

How much should you charge for your products and services? Traditionally, businesses have answered this question based on the cost to produce or provide their goods and services. This course shows you the economic factors behind pricing based on cost and the pros and cons of a cost-based pricing approach. Developed at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, and led by top-ranked Darden faculty and Boston Consulting Group global pricing experts, the course provides the practical and research-based models and methods you need to set prices that maximize your profits. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to: --Apply knowledge of basic economics to make better pricing decisions --Recognize opportunities for price discrimination—selling the same product at different prices to different buyers—and recommend strategies to maximize sales and profits --Calculate three types of price elasticities to determine the impact of price on demand --Analyze and apply different pricing models -Cost-plus pricing -Marginal cost-plus pricing -Peak-load pricing -Index-based pricing --Evaluate the impact of channel intermediaries and customer lifetime value on pricing...

Concepts in this course are challenging but the class is setup for students to succeed. I really enjoyed this course and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about pricing strategy.

Cost and Economic in Pricing Strategy is a discourse I was glad and privy to have taken and it has helped widen my scope of knowledge especially in determining the prices of a new product.

it is indeed a very beginning level. Remind me what I learned from CFA. The only downside about this course is that there are too many questions in the videos (compared to any other courses I've taken), I'd rather they all sum up in one long practice list, need to almost constantly click and click and click in each one of the recordings........too annoying.

an excellent course on pricing, taught by experienced practitioners, i found it very engaging and insightful over the course , few more cases and several in depth coverage over the material would give it a 5 star review. Great job by Darden and BCG, Worth the course fee.

Good instructor/prof. Material is a bit basic and some of the quiz and practice questions are less precise in the phrasing of question objectives than they could be but overall the material is informative and could be productively put into practice.

Pretty good content, but would have liked the option to do more practice problems, particularly problems using formulas from the course and real world applications. Overall it was a valuable course.

Very helpful. The course provided conceptual insight in price setting methods apart from other relevant Technics and tools.

Mixed reaction, Ron from Darden is very knowledgeable, but does not explain well enough and does not spend enough time to explain examples.
