Aims and scope of journal

Journal of Revenue and Pricing Management serves and reflects the tremendous growth in research and practices of revenue management and pricing, which has come about as a result of the growing appreciation of the subject.

Revenue management (RM), also known as Yield Management (YM), is a management activity that marries the diverse disciplines of operations research/management science, statistics, economics, human resource management, software development, marketing, economics, e-commerce, consumer behaviour and consulting to manage demand for a firm's products or services with the goal of profit maximisation. From a practitioner standpoint, RM encompasses a range of activities related to demand management, including pricing, segmentation, capacity and inventory allocation, demand modelling and business process management.

Journal of Revenue and Pricing Management aims to:

  • formulate and disseminate a body of knowledge called 'RM and pricing' to practitioners, educators, researchers and students;
  • provide an international forum for a wide range of practical, theoretical and applied research in the fields of RM and pricing;
  • represent a multi-disciplinary set of views on key and emerging issues in RM and pricing;
  • include a cross-section of methodologies and viewpoints on research, including quantitative and qualitative approaches, case studies, and empirical and theoretical studies;
  • encourage greater understanding and linkage between the fields of study related to revenue management and pricing;
  • to publish new and original ideas on research, policy and management.

Every quarter, Journal of Revenue and Pricing Management publishes a wide range of peer-reviewed practice papers, research articles and professional briefings written by industry experts - including:

  • Practice papers - addressing the issues facing practitioners in industry and consultancy
  • Case studies - focusing on the real-life challenges and problems faced by major corporations, how they were approached, and what was learned
  • Applied research papers - from leading institutions on all areas of research of interest to practitioners, and the implications for practice
  • Models and theories - practical models and theories which are being used in revenue management
  • The future of RM - assessment of the future issues facing the RM community by some of its leading experts
