Revenue Management Introduction
“The application of disciplined analytics that predict consumer behavior at the micro-market level and optimize product availability and price to maximize revenue growth.
The primary aim of Revenue Management is selling the right product to the right customer at the right time for the right price and with the right pack.
The essence of this discipline is in understanding customers' perception of product value and accurately aligning product prices, placement and availability with each customer segment.”
Cross, R. (1997) Revenue Management: Hard-Core Tactics for Market Domination. New York, NY: Broadway Books.
