Ou have been hired as the new pricing manager for WCG, which sells cell phone plans to customers. You manage a team of pricing analysts who present you with ideas for pricing strategy. While many of the ideas are good, there are some that you worry might not be legal under U. S. law. Review each of the six at-risk pricing strategies and determine the appropriate law or regulation to determine if the strategy is legal or illegal.
Many legal and ethical issues impact pricing decisions. Pricing is one of the most watched and regulated marketing activities because it directly impacts the financial viability of both organizations and individuals. The United States government and other major economies, such as Japan and the European Union, are committed to stopping and punishing anticompetitive and harmful pricing behavior through a variety of laws and regulations that marketers need to know as they are developing pricing strategy.
