摘要
The current literature is largely silent on how executives interpret the concept of value-based pricing. Although only a minority of companies adopts value-based pricing approaches, little is known about antecedents of alternative pricing approaches. We suggest this may be because of the fact that few professionals possess an understanding of value-based pricing, which is both academically rigorous as well as practically relevant. Our interviews with 44 executives in 15 US industrial firms show that those practicing value-based pricing interpret customer value in ways fully consistent with the current academic literature. Those practicing cost-or competition-based pricing, however, show a poor understanding of value-based pricing, which may explain why their companies practice cost-or competition-based approaches. © 2012 Macmillan Publishers Ltd.
