    The purpose of this course is to present a framework for assessing pricing decisions, the central element of marketing. The course is structured around marketing's three C's: Costs; Customers; and Competitors. In the first part of the course we discuss how costs should, and should not, enter the pricing decision. We move on to show how a marketing focus on the customer provides insight into the pricing decision. Then we discuss how competitors impact the pricing decision. The course concludes with pricing strategies, tactics and their applications: dynamic pricing over the product life cycle, product line pricing through the marketing channel, price bundling and legal aspects of pricing.

    Forecasting is a critically important activity for all firms. This course provides simple but powerful models that use readily available purchasing data to capture underlying patterns in customer behavior. More importantly, learn how to use these models to provide accurate forecasts for what these customers will do in the future, as well as the right way to think about modeling customer activity. Using this way of thinking, it is possible to see that consistent behavioral patterns exist across different marketing channels (e.g., offline, online and catalog) and even across seemingly different domains (e.g., grocery and music). The tools are very general in their applications and can also be used for various Decision Analysis applications that manufacturing managers and consultants as well as information technology professionals are often faced with.
