An examination of the effect of continuous quality improvements on optimal pricing for durable goods
Article Abstract:
Manufacturers must use the right pricing methods for optimum profits, and an analysis of optimal prices was done by utilizing the Narasimhan, Ghosh and Mendez (NGM) model. The optimal price trajectories were derived through numerical solutions using the generalized reduced gradient algorithm. Results of the analysis revealed the relationships between the average product life and the persistence of quality perceptions as well as their effects on sales rates and optimal price decisions.
