Risk and uncertainty are inherent aspects of any business. It is impossible to avoid risk. Therefore, risk management is a vital part of management decision making. Understanding the type of risk that is associated with any business venture and ways to mitigate risk is the responsibility of business management.
Dynamic pricing allows businesses to set flexible prices in real time based on current market demands. You can think of dynamic pricing as allowing a business the fluidity and flexibility of changing prices rapidly to adjust to ever-changing markets. A component of dynamic pricing is price discrimination. Price discrimination is the practice of charging different customers different prices that are not based on the marginal costs of a business (Blair & Rush, 2018). Businesses can take advantage of dynamic pricing and price discrimination by charging different classes of consumers different prices with the goal of increasing profits.
