RoboClean H100’s revenues have been flat for the past 2 years and is facing steep new competition. Learners analyze market data and make a series of decisions including material and packaging quality, setting a margin goal, reacting to competitive positioning, determining the operational support budget, and setting the price based on their strategy and chosen market segment. The learner’s goal is to test various pricing strategies in order to maximize revenues, profitability, and customer satisfaction.
