A word from our lecturer

With each new class, it’s exciting to see how critical participants embrace pricing once they see its possibilities. One participant may prefer the analytic side, while another gets into the psychological aspects of price acceptance. At the end of the day, participants find this broad introduction to be relevant, substantive and interactive. The sincere fascination of the participants makes it all worthwhile for me as a lecturer.
