...INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT 5 1) The price of bottled water: Under normal circumstances, the price of a regular bottled water depends on the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing and retailing costs. On the other hand, although the mentioned costs are nearly the same for the same product, the related price might change significantly according to the parameters such as customer’s perceived value, his/her willing to pay, location, environment, volume etc… For example, as for the stadium example, under the time pressure, the people waiting for the match to start, probably will not have enough time to find a bottle of water with a lower price. This situation will increase the customer’s willing to pay for the same product under this different circumstance. So, the seller could find himself/herself in a more comfort position in terms of higher pricing. As for the cafe case, the pricing strategy will be different from that of the supermarket and street seller. The reason behind this might be depending on the factors such as added value of the cafe environment, customer service, even being visible there or belonging to a member of the audience group etc. The mentioned factors might explain the premium pricing applied especially in touristic or high society places. On the other hand, the service costs such as rent, electricity, wages, tax etc. should be included in the product price somehow in terms of profitability. The pricing for the minibar case is very similar to the...

...I N T R O D U C T I O N According to Professor Dr. Lars Perner, “the environmental forces which affect the marketing process are most of the time uncontrollable by the organization and therefore the company should do the necessary to cope with these forces.” The marketing environment consists of all the players and forces outside marketing that influence the marketing management’s ability to develop and maintain successful relationships with its target customers. (ZainBooks, 2010) These environmental forces might affect directly or indirectly, sometimes both and it will create both opportunities for further growth or threats declining a company’s growth. Therefore a company should always keep an eye on its environmental forces and adopt quickly and better than its competitors according to the changes in the environmental forces in order to survive in the market and to grow further. Oman is a developing country and its market in general is in rapid growth, especially the Fast Food industry. This rapid growing industry does have influential marketing factors. Both the macro-environment and the micro-environment factors do affect the Fast Food industry in Oman. Some affect in larger percentage and some very minimal that it seems so invisible.

The costumer’s perceived value of a good or service affects the price that he or she willing to pay for it. For the most of the part, costumers are unaware of the true cost of production for the products they buy. Instead, they simply have an internal feeling for how much certain products are worth to them. This in order to obtain a higher price for their products, procurers may pursue marketing strategies to create a higher perceives value for their products. Perceived value is often used with perfumes, for example. Perfumes tend to be associated with a glamorous celebrity in order to create a mystique and perception of luxury.
