Abstract

Noble and Gruca (1999, this issue) provide useful insights into the pricing practices managers employ. Their findings indicate managerial pricing practices are heavily dominated by internal, cost-based approaches. Particularly relevant is the absence of value-based pricing practices. Noble and Gruca's findings indicate that the emerging market orientation work has not connected to pricing practice. This work poses a significant challenge for marketing theoreticians and educators: How can managers be helped to move beyond internally focused to externally-customer-focused pricing practice?
