This short course provides students with an overview of this important discipline and is an ideal supplement to a marketing, front office, or general operations class. A solid understanding of revenue management’s key concepts and the selective application of its most effective strategies and tactics have become mission critical for most hospitality operations. This NEW book explores the applicability of revenue maximization strategies and their operational aspects. Readers will learn the difference between strategic and tactical revenue management and why that distinction is critical, the tools that are available to revenue managers and when to use them, the broad range of information needed to effectively maximize revenue, vital issues to consider before implementing revenue management tactics, how revenue management is often misunderstood and applied inappropriately, the significant potential consequences of using revenue management poorly, as well as the benefits it can provide when done well.

This is the first comprehensive introduction to the concepts, theories, and applications of pricing and revenue optimization. From the initial success of "yield management" in the commercial airline industry down to more recent successes of markdown management and dynamic pricing, the application of mathematical analysis to optimize pricing has become increasingly important across many different industries. But, since pricing and revenue optimization has involved the use of sophisticated mathematical techniques, the topic has remained largely inaccessible to students and the typical manager. With methods proven in the MBA courses taught by the author at Columbia and Stanford Business Schools, this book presents the basic concepts of pricing and revenue optimization in a form accessible to MBA students, MS students, and advanced undergraduates. In addition, managers will find the practical approach to the issue of pricing and revenue optimization invaluable. Solutions to the end-of-chapter exercises are available to instructors who are using this book in their courses. For access to the solutions manual, please contact [email protected].

MARKETING TEAMS ARE THE CREATIVE HEARTS OF ORGANIZATIONS. We bring products to life and connect them to living, breathing customers. Without us, our companies would crash and burn. And yet it often seems we don't get the respect--or the budgets--we deserve. Where is the love? The reason our companies don't love us is that they see us as cost centers rather than revenue centers. So how do we change that perception (and that reality)? How do we become provable, dependable sources of revenue? By changing our relationship with our customers. By turning them into raving advocates and long-term clients. We need to stop viewing customers through the lens of the traditional sales funnel. F the Funnel offers us a new model for thinking about the entire customer acquisition cycle--the Loop--which focuses on building relationships of trust rather than closing sales in a one-off way.
