Price management has a high importance within the marketing field. Price is by far the most sensitive profit lever that managers can influence. Reflecting the academic and managerial need, the research objective is to gain a comprehensive understanding in two areas: the magnitude of price elasticity and the determinants of price elasticity.

The objectives of this book are threefold: First, conceptually examining the specific marketing-mix for luxury goods. Second, applying this marketing-mix to the online world. Third, empirically testing the effects of the online accessibility of luxury goods on consumer perceptions of scarcity and desirability.

The book explores two central aspects of shopper behavior at the POP based on an eye-tracking field-experiment: decision-making and how it is affected by in- and out-of-store factors, and post-decision choice satisfaction. Results show that retailers have less influence on in-store decision-making than manufacturers, despite controlling the POP.
