In fact, many firms can extract more revenue and increase profits with pricing strategies that are far more innovative than the single-price strategy. This book summarizes various pricing strategies, including price discrimination, two-part tariffs, bundling, peak-load pricing, and dynamic pricing and explains the necessary ingredients that cause them to succeed or fail.
