,Session 1: Introduction
Price is the value that is created by a company. It can be measured by ‘what are the
consumers willing to pay’ and subtracting the ‘cost to create the product’. Some of that value
stays in the company as profit, some value goes to customers as surplus/good feeling
(happiness).




1.1 Marketing perspective from the consumer
Marketing from the perspective of the consumer is:
● A way to make products and services conveniently available (Peter Drucker)
● A method to change preferences and willingness to pay (J. Kenneth Galbraith)

Peter Drucker wrote about the importance of marketing in creating a customer, i.e., in the
sense of making demand and supply meet somehow. J. Kenneth Galbraith wrote about the
problems that lead times (between product idea and product launch) cause in selling
products that were created based on information (during the ideation phase) in a market that
no longer exists (at the commercialization stage).

According to Hal Varian, Chief Economist at Google, marketing is the new finance. Now,
we’re getting a lot of really good data, we have tools, we have methods, and we have smart
people working on it. So his view is the quants are going to move from Wall Street to
Madison Avenue.


1.2 The Marketing
Framework
The Marketing Framework describes a
general process of marketing strategy
development. Here, it’s about looking
for the point (the sweet point) where
the three C’s come together
– the company has a strength, the customer has a need, and the competition doesn’t
provide it.

, Here two blocks are important to understand the structure of the market.
1. What is information that I have about my customers, my own cost function, where’s
my company good and bad at, and what allows the competition me to do?
2. What are the clear differences between my customers? You need to declare what
your customers look like (wants and needs) and do something different from the
competition.

Note that preferences can differ a lot, even when the demographics are really similar.
Therefore, determine the segments, and how you’re going to communicate to each of them.

Here, many categories can be made.
For example, value vs. availability
● Product & price
● Place/Channels & Promotion

Or strategic vs. tactical (flexible)
● Price is seen as a fast instrument, it can change on a daily basis, and responses
from the marketing are immediate.
● Product is slow to change (other half of the spectrum), e.g., Apple iPads.
○ Think about product lifecycles (e.g., iPads 7+ lifecycles).
■ Innovators, early adaptors, early majority, late majority, laggards.
● Decisions can be made daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly (place/channels), and
annually (product).

Therefore, pricing can help to continue the organization financially.

Marketing is an applied field that takes from lots of places:

1. Build on economics
2. Add in psychology
3. But always in conversation with practical marketing ‘insights’


1.3 Price as a tool to divide value between consumers and
sellers

Ultimatum Game
1. Two persons, encountering one another once;
2. Person A proposes to person B how to divide an amount of money;
3. Person B can say yes or no
a. Yes: A and B divide the money as proposed.
b. No: the money disappears and is gone forever.
