Situation: Defining & Understanding Pricing
For this assignment, we will be addressing the strategic steps that ASDG must recommend for the leadership team at Highpoint Barnie in reflecting on issues in price. Suffice to say, before you came to work with Highpoint Barnie, they had already established a working price for the Selfie Elf on a Shelf. The price they had established was based on some previously held assumptions regarding the deliverable.
Although you don’t have the details at this time to necessarily make an alternative recommendation regarding price, what you have been asked to do for this assignment will be to once again produce a well-articulated, and well researched, white paper that explores issue of price as it relates to the potential adjustments that Highpoint Barnie might need to make in relation to responding to the sudden interest in the Selfie Elf on a Shelf product.
Assignment:
For this specific project make sure that you provide a clear definition of the concepts at hand and articulate some of the steps that leaders at Highpoint Barnie must take in order to better ascertain that they have indeed established the correct price for this product based on issues in delivery that must be considered given its recent escalation in popularity. Make sure your project includes the following.
A brief introduction describing the main tenets as articulated above.
A multi-point discussion wherein you clearly organize the main points of your paper. Discuss how to avoid price-fixing and the steps we can take with Highpoint Barnie in ensuring their pricing contracts are fair and effective.
Conclusion – Please synthesize the main points provided and bring all the thoughts presented to a cogent conclusion
