0

By Tim Mohnke on May 16th, 2013

Price-volume elasticity is a concept about demand elasticity that’s commonly taught in B-school. The key word here is concept — it isn’t a law (like the law of gravity) — and the entire precept of price-volume elasticity doesn’t apply to the service parts industry.

Der zweite Blogbeitrag über Pricing in der Ersatzteilindustrie. Frage: Warum ist die Preisfestlegung für Nachfolgeprodukte so schwierig?

By Tim Mohnke on Mar 19th, 2013

Teil eins von zwei Blogbeiträgen über Pricing in der Ersatzteilindustrie. Frage: Welche Rolle spielt der Lebenszyklus eines Produktes bei der Preisfindung? Antwort: Der Begriff „Produktlebenszyklus“  beschreibt die Entwicklung eines Artikels auf dem Markt. Aus meiner Sicht lässt sich das dahinterstehende Konzept nicht klar umreißen.

Lifecycle Considerations When Pricing Service Parts

0

By Tim Mohnke on Feb 19th, 2013

This is the first of a two-part series on pricing for the service parts industry.  Question: Is it important to consider a part’s lifecycle when pricing the part? Answer: Lifecycle has to do with a part’s stage of life. In my opinion, it really isn’t a clear concept. The term is derived from a consumer…

Are You Blinded by Assumptions?

0

By Tim Mohnke on Jun 5th, 2012

In pricing discussions, a topic that often surfaces is one that centers on using competitive price data. In service parts, this subject is especially prevalent because of the available interchanges that enable you to compare a competitor’s part to one sold by your company.

Analyse der Konkurrenzpreise: Blinde (Sammel)-Wut?

By Tim Mohnke on Jun 5th, 2012

Ein gerne diskutiertes Thema in Pricing-Fachgesprächen ist die Frage, wie die Preise wichtiger Wettbewerber im Rahmen der eigenen Strategie einzuordnen sind. In hart umkämpften Branchen wie der Ersatzteilindustrie zum Beispiel schauen Verantwortliche mit Argusaugen auf die Konkurrenz.
