Implementing Value Pricing: A Radical Business Model for Professional Firms

Implementing Value Pricing: A Radical Business Model for Professional Firms

2011 | ISBN-10: 0470584610 | EPUB | 365 pages | 1 MB

An overwhelming majority of pro-fessional firms price their services by the flawed hourly billing method. This method is outdated, suboptimal, and driving the best and brightest out of the professions. While lawyers, accountants, and consultants serve noble callings, the predominant method of pricing for their services is not worthy of them. There is a better way.
Implementing Value Pricing demonstrates a superior model to price for professional services: selling intellectual capital with pricing based on the results and value it creates, not the cost or time it took to formulate.
Written by veteran speaker, writer, and educator Ronald Baker, this book declares the customer as the sole and ultimate arbiter of value. It proposes a business model change from "We sell time" to "We sell intellectual capital," exploring the requirements, hurdles, challenges, and opportunities that enlightened firms transitioning to this new business model will face.
Driven by theory and the actual experiences of many firms, Implementing Value Pricing features seven appendixes available for download on the companion website containing checklists, strategies, sample forms, and case studies, and discusses:
-Business model innovation
-The latest research on the history of the billable hour and timesheets
-The foundations of creating value
-An eight-step model to assist firms to implement value pricing
-Two frameworks for scoping complex engagements
-What, specifically, replaces hourly billing and timesheets
-Seven appendixes available for download on the companion website��containing checklists, strategies, sample forms, and case studies
With case studies from firms that have profitably implemented these specific ideas, Implementing Value Pricing is a practical guide for how and why to implement a business model change, create more value, and unlock the tremendous competitive power hidden in the intellectual capital of every professional firm.

I wanted a text that really helps students to see how economic principles could help them solve business problems. This new text does just that."--Ed Millner, Chairman, Department of Economics, Virginia Commonwealth University. "With no experiece in business and no exposure to math since a D in high school trig, I found economics utterly incomprehensible. Then [the text] spoke one sentence to me, ... It all became clear."--PJ O'Rourke, one of America's leading political satirists and best-selling author of Eat the Rich: a Treatise on Economics. "In twenty years, it will be seen as the standard way to teach economics."--Robert Litan, Vice President for Research and Policy at the Kauffman Foundation.

L.P. Lebedev, I.I. Vorovich and G.M. Gladwell, "Functional Analysis: Applications in Mechanics and Inverse Problems"

L.P. Lebedev, I.I. Vorovich and G.M. Gladwell, "Functional Analysis: Applications in Mechanics and Inverse Problems" Summary:

Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 1402006675 | edition 2002 | PDF | 260 pages | 12,79 mb

This is a book for people who want to use functional analysis to justify approximate methods in Mechanics and Inverse Problems. It provides such researchers with the tools they need without having to assimilate or skip through concepts they do not need. For the applied mathematician, the essential difficulty attending the study of functional analysis is that the pure mathematicians who have developed the field have carried the process of abstraction, which is the essence of functional analysis, to increasingly higher levels. In this book, the authors have kept the level of abstraction high enough for the majority of applications, and have resisted the temptation to abstract to the limit.
