“Whitman’s marketing faculty is globally recognized for their cutting-edge research on pricing, and it is only fitting that we are hosting this important event,” says conference coordinator Tridib Mazumdar, the Howard R. Gendal Professor of Marketing and associate dean for faculty development and research at Whitman. “Pricing is a critical marketing decision that requires consideration of not only economic factors, but also consumers’ psychological reactions to prices and how prices are framed. More recently, introductions of a variety of innovative pricing approaches in the online space have added a layer of complexity and excitement to this area of inquiry.”
