In legal circles, ownership of something is often called:
Title. In order to be sure you own something, you have to make sure you have acquired 'good title'.
What gets measured, gets ...'?
Managed.
This an old management adage, which is intended to encourage managers to measure helpful indica-tors (not everything!).
Johnson, Scholes and Whittington suggested three key criteria for options which can be used in the evaluation of a business case. Which word was not one of these three key criteria?
'Is it acceptable, feasible and suitable?' are the tests.
What is the term for a situation where a seller sets a high introductory price for a new product, to attract buyers who have a strong desire to get the product early, and who can afford it? The price then gets gradually reduced over time.
'Market skimming' is the correct answer.
An obvious example of this type of pricing behaviour is in the field of technology, where 'early adopters' will pay significantly more for a product, even although they know the price will drop subsequently. For commercially-used products, sometimes there is an urgent need for an organisa-tion to acquire - a topical example as I write (early 2022) is some new surveillance technology which is in the news and which some governments are desperate to have. In consumer markets, everyone's 'go-to' example is the next generation smartphone, especially Apple products.
Promotional pricing is a short-term price reduction (or 'two-4-one' type offer) to generate sales in the short-term, for example to clear stock, or because of a manufacturer financial support arrangement.
Price discrimination is where the seller sets different prices for different market segments. An ex-ample would be charging different rail fares in UK or mainland Europe based on customer age.
Contribution pricing is based on the notion that sales should cover costs, contributing to the busi-ness, without necessarily making a profit. For example, a large order may be accepted which will keep the workforce employed (retaining their skills as well as having a considerate / ethical outlook) to see the firm through a rough period.
Which of the following would not normally be part of data required by the buying organisation's contract manager?
Other customer data.
It would, I think, be very unusual for a contract manager to feel it appropriate to ask for information from a supplier representative about other customers. Business partners normally want their dealings to be private. However, in informal discussions, in the normal course of conversation, information is often transferred in a benign manner.
