Abstract
Gegenstand des Dynamic Pricing ist die situative Anpassung von Angebotspreisen an im Zeitablauf variierende Rahmenbedingungen. Die hier seit einigen Jahren beobachtbare Intensivierung der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung hat es heute zu einem der methodisch fortgeschrittensten Forschungsgebiete an der Schnittstelle zwischen Operations Research, Marketing, Economics und E Commerce werden lassen. Der vorliegende Beitrag liefert zunächst eine kompakte inhaltliche Einführung in die Grundlagen des Dynamic Pricing sowie in die elementaren mathematischen Modellierungsansätze. Zu ihrer Einordnung wird ein spezifischer Kriterienkatalog entwickelt. Dieser dient als Grundlage für die anschließende, umfassende Literaturanalyse, welche den Schwerpunkt des Beitrags bildet. Abschließend werden mögliche künftige Forschungspotenziale identifiziert.
This paper presents a current review of the academic literature on dynamic pricing, which has evolved to one of the leading research topics at the interface between Operations Research, Marketing, Economics, and E-Commerce during the last decade. The authors begin by delivering a primer on dynamic pricing and explaining the basic model formulations. Subsequently, they develop a set of criteria which allow for the unified classification of relevant publications and serve as a basis for the extensive literature analysis. Possible future research directions are discussed as well.
