Research project: Revenue management
Revenue management is the process of setting prices so as to maximise a company’s revenue. Airlines are perhaps the most well-known users of Revenue Management but its use in other less traditional industries, e.g. online advertising, fashion retailing, is growing. With the widespread availability of the Internet, it is now possible for consumers to access pricing information far more easily; consequently price competition has become a much more important factor in a consumer’s choice of which product to buy. Within Mathematics, Revenue Management is researched by Christine Currie and Joerg Fliege.
