Description
Revenue Management is used by many service-based organisations to enable prices to be set strategically to maximise revenue and profitability. An understanding of revenue management practices will enable you to apply data-based decision making to answer important questions such as what to sell when to sell, whom to sell to and at what prices. Topics covered include revenue management metrics, demand forecasting, value-based pricing, inventory management, distribution channel management and competitor benchmarking. You will learn about the role of Revenue Manager and how this professional role interacts with and is influenced by, other departments within an organisation to optimise revenue outcomes. You will put your skills in revenue management into practice as you work in teams to manage a simulated hotel using the Hotel Operations, Tactics and Strategy (HOTS) system to implement strategic pricing and revenue management decisions.
