Hi Stelios, fantastic video, I'm getting a lot of ideas for the work that I'm doing right now for the US company giant that recently started adopting digitalization in their business. Thank you for sharing.
2:54 i think there is mistake on the slide where it says "lower elasticity of demand". It should be either "lower ability to pay", or "great elasticity of demand". Why? Because when you lower the price, that has positive effect in term of attracting buyers who otherwise weren't able to pay the regular price. That means there is an "additional" demand which is reacting to this change, hence it is elastic. On the other hand "lower elasticity of demand" as it is written means vertical line, hence no alternatives for buyers when the prices goes up and the high price must be payed, that is inelastic demand, and in this scenario the units are rather low.
Uber is the worst example you could use. The whole industry is highly improfitable with horrible losses. Founded in 2008 Uber never managed to be profitable. Same applies to competitors like Lyft. By the way Revenue Management has been implemented in the late 60s, not the 80s.
It remains one of the best examples of dynamic pricing. The video is about that, not about Uber's business model. It is also one of the most AI-driven companies. Would have it survived that long if that wasn't the case?
Uber is a zombie company. There is a Harvard Professor who states the same. Dynamic Pricing in their case only led to losses. It´s the worst example on Pricing you can show. Point.
Clear explanation on Dynamic prices and how to optimize with same good examples.
Very clear presentation. Thank you for this great content
Very clear and engaging, thank you for sharing

How do you solve problem of me telling you that I bought same thing as you did but in almost half price ?
Why apple does not have dynamic pricing?
Showing different users different prices at the same time is kind of discrimination, isn't it?
