Getting your pricing strategy right is the difference between sustainable growth, investing in product development, and happy, engaged customers and stakeholders. Harvard Business Review research shows that pricing has almost 4 times as much influence on a company’s ability to reinvest than top line sales growth. But if you don’t understand the psychology of pricing, having the wrong price can undermine your chances for success. Double Your Price is your practical, accessible guide on the theory, strategy, psychology, and execution of pricing. With useful tools, and clear, realistic guidance on how to leverage pricing to drive business success, you’ll be able to answer the following questions for your business or product: How much should we charge for our product or service? How much are our customers willing to pay? If we increase our price, will we lose customers? How can setting prices help us cover our costs? What are the benefits of a pricing strategy? Will increasing or decreasing prices help my business to succeed? Covering how pricing works, how to avoid cognitive bias, how to convince others, and many different pricing strategies, Double Your Price includes a practical set of insights, tools, and actionable guidance, and a Foreword by Lord Sainsbury. A well-designed and progressive pricing strategy is one of the most powerful tools available to businesses. Get yours right.

The enormous challenge of creating a longterm sustainable energy system calls for the participation of engineers, natural and social scientists. They can contribute both through their research and by helping to craft strategies that steer the future development of the system. A sustainable energy system cannot be developed by technical fixes alone; action is required on a broad front, including institutional and regulatory changes. There is an abundance of scientific evidence on which to base decisions on how to proceed. Still, research has a crucial role to play as well.Smart Energy Strategies highlights smart solutions: advances in technical and social-science energy research, particularly advances related to new information technology (e.g. control and communication); and experience with targeted applications of information technology in the supply and consumption of energy. The conference has focused on smart strategies taking into account current technical and institutional systems, with their inertia and shortcomings; future energy-related challenges: energy security; the growing energy needs of the disadvantaged; and unintended consequences of energy systems, particularly climate change but also uncontrolled money flows; smart technical, institutional, and regulatory mechanisms for meeting these challenges.
