Most of the time, customer’s perception of the product value may not necessarily be in line with its price. There are instances in which the product is overpriced when its value perception is lower than the price tag on it, and vice-versa. For a marketer, it is important that products are priced at the right level. Last but not least, the product differentiation is getting blunted. The differentiation among firms on the basis of the product is going to get blunted when technologies get standardized. More products and brands will transcend to a commodity situation. This is an unhealthy sign as commodities are always subject to price fluctuations and price wars. Obviously, at this stage, the only way to differentiate between brands is the price.</p> Nur Syasya Farahnaz Mohd Anuwar , Siti Aisyah Esa Copyright (c) https://abrn.asia/ojs/index.php/JUSST/article/view/87 Sat, 11 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000 Effect of Price on Sales Volume https://abrn.asia/ojs/index.php/JUSST/article/view/88 <p>Marketing mix&nbsp;refers to the set of actions or tactics that a company uses to promote its brand or product in the market.

Price refers to the value that is put for a product. It depends on costs of production, segment targeted, abilities of the market to pay plus a host of other direct and indirect factors. There can be several types of pricing strategies, each tangled in with an overall business plan. Pricing can also be used to differentiate and enhance the image of a product. However, all the elements of the marketing mix influence each other. Marketing mix needs a lot of understanding, market research and consultation with several people, from users to trade to manufacturing and several others.</p> Nurul Fasihah Binti Jamaluddin Copyright (c) https://abrn.asia/ojs/index.php/JUSST/article/view/88 Sat, 11 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000 The Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0) and Impact to UNIKL BMI Students https://abrn.asia/ojs/index.php/JUSST/article/view/92 <p>Recently the terms IR4.0 becoming popular especially in mainstream media as well as in the universities.
