Why join the course?
How do airlines, hotels, resorts and other organisations manage their prices? Why are these prices apparently unrelated to costs and different for each consumer? And what are the underlying reasons and processes behind these prices?

Intended for: This free online course will open the black box of revenue management – the widespread pricing strategy that the travel, leisure and other industries use to generate additional revenue, by setting prices according to people’s preferences and willingness to pay.

You will explore the methods at the core of many revenue management systems, discovering the answers to questions such as:

Do all customers have the same sensitivity to price?
How can a firm use its knowledge on demand, to charge different people different prices for the same product?
Why do the prices vary over time?
How can a firm slightly differentiate its product in order to charge widely different prices to different people?
How can you define the right set of prices to increase the firm’s profit?
What is the outcome for the individual consumer? And for consumers as a whole?
