How to Price: A Guide to Pricing Techniques and Yield Management

By Oz Shy
Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13 978-0-511-39467-6
ISBN-13 978-0-521-88759-5

Introduction

This book focuses on pricing techniques that enable firms to enhance their profits.This book, however, cannot provide a complete recipe for success in marketing a certain product as this type of recipe, if it existed, would depend on a very large number of factors that cannot be analyzed in a single book. However, what this book does offer is a wide variety of pricing methods by which firms can enhance their revenue and profit. Such pricing strategies constitute part of the field called yield management. As explained and discussed in Section 1.3, throughout this book we will be using the term yield management (YM) to mean profit management and profit maximization, as opposed to the more commonly used term revenue management (RM).

Introduction

With first-chapter allusions to martial arts, "flow," "mind like water," and other concepts borrowed from the East (and usually mangled), you'd almost think this self-helper from David Allen should have been called Zen and the Art of Schedule Maintenance.

Not quite. Yes, Getting Things Done offers a complete system for downloading all those free-floating gotta-do's clogging your brain into a sophisticated framework of files and action lists--all purportedly to free your mind to focus on whatever you're working on. However, it still operates from the decidedly Western notion that if we could just get really, really organized, we could turn ourselves into 24/7 productivity machines. (To wit, Allen, whom the New Economy bible Fast Company has dubbed "the personal productivity guru," suggests that instead of meditating on crouching tigers and hidden dragons while you wait for a plane, you should unsheathe that high-tech saber known as the cell phone and attack that list of calls you need to return.)

As whole-life-organizing systems go, Allen's is pretty good, even fun and therapeutic. It starts with the exhortation to take every unaccounted-for scrap of paper in your workstation that you can't junk, The next step is to write down every unaccounted-for gotta-do cramming your head onto its own scrap of paper. Finally, throw the whole stew into a giant "in-basket"

Perfect Phrases for Setting Performance Goals

Hundreds of Ready-to-Use Goals for Any Performance Plan or Review
By Douglas Max, Robert Bacal
2004 by The McGraw-Hill Companies

Introduction

There’s a popular misconception that performance appraisal starts and ends with the performance appraisal meeting. That’s not so. In fact, the many benefits of managing performance are lost when you focus solely on the appraisal process, the end point. The secret to success—for organizations, managers, and employees—is to put more emphasis on making sure managers and employees know what they must accomplish. When each employee understands what he or she needs to do to succeed, it’s much easier for that person to contribute. It’s also much easier for managers to do their jobs, to improve productivity, and to manage proactively rather than spending time stomping out small fires later. Clear purpose helps everyone succeed and, bottom line, that’s what everyone wants and benefits from.
This book helps you set performance goals—those statements that are used to aim and guide performance throughout the year. These same performance goals are also used to evaluate employee performance and,perhaps more importantly, help identify barriers to performance so they can be removed.
