Abstract

In this paper, we discuss how a short-range wireless communication scheme called Mobile Encounter Network (MEN) can provide additional value for both the consumer and the service/product provider (the company). When used as an information search system on the market environment, a MEN-based system allows services and products being promoted at the location they are available. From the customer's point of view, MEN may provide a "digitally augmented vision", an enhanced view to the current environment. Combined with a set of filtering and search rules this may provide a self-manageable context combining the user's own personal environment and preferences to the services and features available in the current surroundings. An imaginary case study of this kind of system in execution is provided. The conclusion is that such method may can generate additional revenue to the company and please the customers' buying process.

Behavior-Based Pricing in Vertically Differentiated Industries

We study behavior-based pricing BBP in a vertically differentiated model. Vertical differentiation is innately asymmetric because all customers prefer the higher-quality product when prices are equal. This asymmetry causes BBP to have different ...
Durable Products, Time Inconsistency, and Lock-in

Many durable products cannot be used without a contingent consumable product, e.g., printers require ink, iPods require songs, razors require blades, etc. For such products, manufacturers may be able to lock in consumers by making their products ...
Marketplace or Reseller?

Intermediaries can choose between functioning as a marketplace in which suppliers sell their products directly to buyers or as a reseller by purchasing products from suppliers and selling them to buyers. We model this as a decision between whether ...
