Drinks producer MEG optimally equipped for future growth
5 Tips for better Price Management along the entire Value Chain
Increasing demand for integrated marketing, sales and service projects
J&M Research presents its market research know-how with a new website
Dear Readers,

In 1776 in "The Wealth of Nations", Adam Smith assumed that the price of goods had an effect on the demand for those goods, and not that the demand affected the price. Today, when we make bids on eBay or participate in reverse auctions, we can see that the price really does depend on supply and demand. However, many factors in the entire value chain have an effect on the price. In this issue of J&M Executive News, read how companies can optimise their pricing and increase profits.

We hope you enjoy reading this edition.
