to enhance market performance, pricing literature advo-cates the use of customer value information (e.g.,Anderson, Wouters, and Van Rossum, 2010; Monroe,2003; Nagle and Hogan, 2006). This advice is motivatedby literature on price perceptions, which suggests thatcustomers’ purchase intentions result from a trade-offbetween product quality and price (e.g., Grewal, Monroe,and Krishnan, 1998; Zeithaml, 1988). Value-informedpricing informs managers on how their customers makethis trade-off. Because the trade-off may differ betweenmarket segments and purchase conditions (Grewal et al.,1998; Zeithaml, 1988), this information enables manag-ers to optimize the chance that the customer’s trade-off ispositive and leads to a purchase of the product. This alsoincludes occasions in which customers use price as asignal for quality (cf. Rao and Monroe, 1989).Because customers in any purchase context seem totrade off between quality and price (e.g., Anderson,Thomson, and Wynstra, 2000 in an industrial purchasingcontext), we hypothesize an unconditional positiveeffect of value-informed pricing on new product marketperformance
