This presentation aims to provide an understanding of the practice of revenue management (RM) as it is carried out today, and to demonstrate the basic concepts used to enhance firm revenues while selling the same quantities of products. The five major tools of the revenue manager (pricing, discount allocation, trading-up, overbooking, and replaning) will be reviewed and the underlying concepts discussed. Opportunities to contribute to research and practice in RM will be highlighted.
