Pricing strategy is a core academic concept within business and economics that investigates the systematic approach and methodologies employed by organizations to determine the optimal price for products or services. It encompasses the analysis of internal factors such as costs and objectives, external factors including market demand, competitive landscape, and regulatory environment, and customer perceptions of value, with the aim of achieving specific organizational goals such as profit maximization, market penetration, or brand positioning. This field is significant for understanding how pricing decisions influence financial performance, competitive dynamics, and consumer behavior in various market contexts.
