What the AI gives you back
Here's what Note Genie produces when you record a meeting and apply the Lecture Notes template. No manual typing.
MBA 540 — Lecture 11 — Pricing & Capture
Key Concepts: 1) Willingness to pay distributes across buyer segments. 2) Anchor pricing shapes WTP. 3) Capture rate is bounded by segment elasticity. 4) Reference price comparisons can outperform absolute price reasoning. Examples: Case — SaaS pricing experiment moving from per-seat to per-outcome. Case — Anchor effect in legal services billing. Study questions: Why does anchor pricing fail for commodity goods? When is per-outcome pricing dominated by per-seat?
