  • Lifecycle-oriented and utility-based dynamic revenue management for long-lasting products   Order a copy of this article
    by Mostafa Ahmadinejad 
    Abstract: This study presents a lifecycle-oriented and utility-based dynamic revenue management (LUDRM) approach that aims to forecast and manage the lifecycle revenue structure of the new product, enabling the company to determine in advance the optimal sequence of intertemporal selling prices and sales volumes. This involves considering the perceived benefit of the product from the customers point of view, the customers purchasing behaviour and adoption rate for the new product, the evolution of their preferences and price evaluations over time, the companys pricing policy and strategy, and the dynamic possibilities of revenue influencing factors during the entire products lifecycle (PLC). The LUDRM presents decision-making and planning guidelines for the manufacturer, who wants to produce a new long-lasting product with high selling prices (e.g., cars, ships, airplanes, etc.), operates in competitive markets, and faces strategic customers.
    Keywords: lifecycle-oriented dynamic revenue management; conjoint analysis; CA; willingness-to-pay; WTP; new product’s launch time target revenue management; LTR; intertemporal target revenue management; ITR.

  • A processes-based methodology for product design assessment   Order a copy of this article
    by Mariangela Lazoi, Vito Del Vecchio, Angelo Scialpi, Fabio D'Alessano, Antonio Margarito 
    Abstract: The digital transformation is shaping practices and investments of companies, it is considered a mean to be more innovative and resilient and to improve business performance. The introduction of new ICT tools can digitalise some processes tasks, but can also have other relevant impacts (e.g., on time, cost, quality). A deep analysis of the processes can support companies to take decisions and avoid errors, bottlenecks and unprofitable investments. The paper aims to propose a methodology to evaluate a process, to identify the adopted technologies in terms of complexity, time, quality, and to support more aware actions as well as taking the right decisions of management and investments. Two case applications are presented in the product design process of a manufacturing company, referring to different programs. The application of the methodology demonstrates its validity and the value of its results leading to better actions and decisions inside the companies.
    Keywords: technological impact analysis; TIA; business process management; BPM; product design; product lifecycle management; PLM; methodology; assessment; design time; designer.
