Differences Among Cost Based

The document compares and contrasts three types of pricing strategies: cost based pricing, value based pricing, and competition based pricing. Cost based pricing sets prices based on production costs plus profit. Value based pricing considers what customers are willing to pay rather than costs. Competition based pricing matches competitors' prices for similar products. Each strategy has a different focus - cost based is product-driven, value based is customer-driven, and competition based is competitor-driven.
