Pricing Strategy Harmonization in the Context of the Post-Merger Integration of Two Scientific Publishers
Challenge

The merger of two scientific publishing groups raised the question of the future distribution and pricing model for their diverse content

Approach
  • Competitive benchmarking regarding pricing models (e.g. bundles, à la carte, usage-based), respective target groups, and market developments

  • Design and evaluation of a customer survey among academic and corporate customers and non-customers as key input for bundling and hierarchy recommendations

  • Librarian interviews regarding procurement processes, budget developments, content evaluation, and expected behavior per scenario

Result

Clear recommendation for a distribution and pricing model, incl. estimated earnings effect per scenario
