Descripción
Sumario:This research aimed to investigate the conditions that lead small and medium-sized enterprises to adopt a pricing strategy for a new service. It is a quantitative and descriptive survey, and the questions were extracted from Indounas and Avlonitis (2011) research. The convergent and discriminant validity and the constructs’ reliability were tested by Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The model was tested by structural equations. The case-related conditions seem to explain most of the pricing strategy adopted. Conclusion shows that managers chose pricing mechanisms according to the size and the main strategy adopted by the company.
