Unfair business competition can cause and trigger monopoly practice where markets arecontrolled and dominated by business doers. Besides, another impact of monopoly practiceis that; the business doers tend to sell expensive products without good quality. Monopolybusiness doers often apply price strategy where the entrepeneurs at normal competitivemarkets are not possible to do that. One of price strategies is price discrimination. Pricediscrimination refers to different price determination at a product at different time to everydifferent customer, or different market, but it is not based on different cost. Price discriminationcan be distinguished into three kinds, namely first degree price discrimination, second degreeprice discrimination, and third degree price discrimination. In addition to that, there is avariant in second degree price discrimination and third degree price discrimination, namelytwo part tariff, intertemporal price discrimination, and also peak load pricing.In Act No. 5 year 1999, discrimination related to prices is regulated in two groups ofrules and articles, that is to say price discrimination which is aproved under agreement, anddiscrimination which is performed by unilateral agreement or without agreement.

Este trabalho mostra a importância atribuída pelas empresas brasileiras exportadoras de papel e celulose às estratégias de produto, preço, promoção, distribuição e variáveis estratégicas de marketing, nos períodos de 1990-1995 e 1996-2000. Com base no volume produzido, volume exportado e participação das exportações na produção, as empresas foram separadas em dois grupos: EGI (empresas com grande interesse no mercado externo) e EPI (empresas com pequeno interesse no mercado externo). Os resultados apontam para um aumento da importância das estratégias propostas para o período 1996-2000, na opinião dos dois grupos de empresas (EGI e EPI). Ocorreu pouca diferença quanto à importância atribuída às estratégias de produto, preço, promoção, distribuição e marketing, tanto pelas EGI quanto EPI. Do conjunto de estratégias analisadas, as que apresentaram menor importância foram às estratégias de promoção, para os dois grupos de empresas, em ambos períodos. Por outro lado, as estratégias consideradas mais importantes, entre 1990-1995, foram as de preço, para os dois grupos. No período 1996-2000 passaram a ser consideradas mais importantes, pelas EGI, as de marketing e produto, e pelas EPI, as estratégias de produto e preço. International marketing strategies in the Brazilian pulp and paper companies Abstract This work shows the importance the Brazilian pulp and paper export companies attribute to the product, price, promotion and distribution strategies and to the marketing strategic variables in the 1990-2995 and 2996-2000 periods. Considering the produced volume, exported volume and the export participation in the production, the companies were classified in two groups: EGI (companies with large interest in the external market) and EPI (companies with small interest in the external market). The results point to an increase of the importance of the strategies proposed to the 1996-2000 period in the opinion of the two groups of companies (EPI and EGI). It was verified minimum differences about the importance attributed to the product, price, promotion, distribution and marketing strategies by the two groups. Of the set strategies analyzed, the one that presented minor importance was the promotion strategies, for both groups and periods. On the other hand, the price strategies were considered more important to the 1990-1995 periods, for the two groups. In relation of the 1996-2000 period, the EGI companies, and the product and price strategies by the EPI companies considered the marketing and product strategies more important.

Purpose – Sustainable products often suffer a competitive disadvantage compared with mainstream products because they must cover ecological and social costs that their competitors leave to future generations. The purpose of this paper is to identify price strategies for sustainable products that minimize this efficiency disadvantage. Design/methodology/approach – The strategies and their determinants from the pricing environment are derived from an inductive sequential case study of certified food products, such as organic and fair trade products. Data are collected through desk research and interviews. Findings – The results reveal six different strategies that build on three basic mechanisms: cost-based pricing in combination with price fairness, increasing willingness to pay through perceptions of quality and/or price, and price stability in which costs are compensated for by scale and/or learning effects. Research limitations/implications – The framework can help companies that offer sustainable products strengthen their market positions and it can help policy makers that partly rely on markets to achieve sustainability objectives. Originality/value – The existing pricing literature on sustainability predominantly takes a consumer approach. This study breaks new ground by extending this work with a strategic marketing approach offering a choice set of strategies for managers.
