Episode 134 - Pricing Ethics: From Airplanes to Accounting Practices - The Woodard Report Podcast
On this episode of the Woodard Report podcast, Joe speaks with Ron Baker about the ethics of pricing and how lessons from airline yield management can apply to accounting practices. They explore the "good, bad, and ugly" sides of dynamic and AI-driven pricing, the distinction between price transparency and pricing transparency, and the importance of maintaining adaptive capacity to serve top clients. Drawing parallels to hotels' pricing integrity, they emphasize that firms should focus on delivering transformative outcomes rather than selling every available hour.
