War Gaming – A Masterclass in Competitive Strategy and Pricing

What is competitive strategy in practice and how does it relate to pricing? Join our Masterclass to learn more about game theory, pricing, and strategy through an interactive game! 

Competitive strategy is more than just setting the right price. Pricing is one of the most critical elements of sustaining or improving the profitability of a business, but how does it work in practice? On 26 October 2022, master’s students from across all study programmes at CBS get the chance to get behind the scenes of competitive strategy and pricing, when we invite pricing experts from CBS and Simon-Kucher & Partners to host an interactive masterclass at CBS.

For this masterclass, you get a unique chance to:
1.    Get an introduction to game theory, competition, and pricing 
2.    Play a business war game and understand how it relates to pricing
3.    Meet experts from CBS and Simon-Kucher & Partners 

What to expect
You will get an introduction to competitive strategy and pricing, where after you will be divided into groups to play against each other for the pricing war game. Everybody is welcome to participate in this event, and no prerequisite knowledge is required.

•    14.45: Arrive and find a seat. Grab a cup of coffee and cake.
