SIMON SCHOOL TEAMS WITH DELOITTE ON B2B PRICING COURSE

Author: Charla S. Kucko, Jaime Riley

Release Date: Oct 17, 2008

Rochester, N.Y.―October 17, 2008―The Simon Graduate School of Business at the University of Rochester is teaming up with Deloitte to offer a new Business to Business (B2B) Pricing course—an extension of a relationship that began in February 2008.

Starting in April 2009, the course will be offered to all Simon full-time, part-time and executive M.B.A. students, alumni and outside pricing professionals through the newly created Center for Pricing at Simon. Taught by Deloitte pricing specialists, the course is designed to help address increased market demand for experienced professionals in this high growth field. Students will learn about the latest strategies, emerging trends and the newest pricing technologies, while providing increased access to top professionals and specialists in the pricing industry.

“Pricing is one of the most popular elective courses we offer at Simon,” said Dean Mark Zupan. “Our relationship with the Professional Pricing Society, and now with Deloitte, underscores the importance of providing training and leadership in this field.”

“Many businesses sacrifice profitability because of the complexity of managing price in an organization,” says Jonathan Copulsky, principal at Deloitte Consulting LLP. “Our relationship with Simon affords us the opportunity to coach students on the multi-functional and multi-disciplinary nature of pricing and profitability management, which, in turn, we expect will contribute to the growth of pricing as a management discipline.”

For more information on the course, contact Gabrielle Bedewi, associate director of the Center for Pricing at Simon, at gabrielle.bedewi@simon.rochester.edu or (585) 275-4791.
