Pricing should be a core capability within any organization. Pricing Excellence requires an integrated approach across five areas – strategy, architecture, execution, analytics, and organizational alignment. ZS’ Bhargav Mantha describes these areas, and talks about why getting the price that you have set is challenging, and how analytics can help you drive the organizational change required to drive effective pricing decisions.
