Abstract

This article presents a new model for pricing a new product considering skimming pricing strategy in the presence of the competition. We consider two periods for price setting including skimming and economy period. The problem is deciding on a skimming price as well as an economy price in order to maximize the total profit. The derived model is a non-linear programming model and we analyzed the structure and properties of optimal solution to develop a solution method. Analytical results as well as managerial insights are presented by mathematical analysis and numerical analysis.
