Implementing Price Changes in Competitive Markets

Developing and implementing an overall pricing strategy is a challenging task for every business firm, but doing so in uncertain economic times is even more of a challenge. What factors should be considered by a firm in implementing price changes? What intra-organizational roadblocks exist to the implementation price changes? How can they be over come? Who are the enemies and who are your friends in implementing price changes in your firm? What strategies, tools, and methods can be used to effectively implement a price change within the firm?

Making price changes stick in the external market place is even more difficult. Customers, buyers, distributors, competitors, and economic forces can prevent a firm from implementing prices changes and making them stick. Customers often want a lower price. Distributors want to make last minute price deals. Competitors want to gain market share. Changing economic conditions often force changes without any warning. What can a company do to counter these external price changing forces? How can a company avoid price wars in the market place? How can a company prevent loss of market share?
