Pricing Strategies - the outlook for Medical Devices and Diagnostic Companies

customer needs and wants, with the needs of the company. Pricing objectives
need to be closely linked with organizational and marketing objectives, as
well as taking account of cash-flow requirements, profit objectives and return
on investment (ROI). In addition, they must take into account the market's
price sensitivity, which is defined as the relative importance of price in a
purchasing decision. In view of the complexities involved in pricing obtaining
an efficient pricing strategy is an important issue for all medical device and
diagnostic companies.
