Quality control:

Quality control is a process that is used to ensure a certain level of quality in a product or service. It might include whatever actions a business deems necessary to provide for the control and verification of certain characteristics of a product or service.

Most often, it involves thoroughly examining and testing the quality of products or the results of services. The basic goal of this process is to ensure that the products or services that are provided meet specific requirements and characteristics, such as being dependable, satisfactory, safe and fiscally sound.

Companies that engage in quality control typically have a team of workers who foucus on testing a certain number of products or obsercing services being done. The products or services that are examined usually are chosen at random.

The goal of the quality control team is to identify products or services that do not meet a company's specified standards of quality.

If a problem is identified, the job of the quality control team or professional might involve stopping production or service until the problem has been corrected.

Depending on the particular service or product as well as the type of problem identified, production or services might not cease entirely.

Information management:

Managing Information is a usual challenge for many businesses and organizations. The more information and people, the harder and more complex on information management projects and initiatives.

Effective information management data can be collected from internal or external business sources. Internal sources of business informatino may include the accounting, production, executive management（行政管理）or human resource deparments.

External sources of business informatino often include the economic marketplace（經(jīng)濟市場）, competitors, national organizations or a local chamber of commerce（商會）.

Financial planning:

Your pricing strategy affects customers and their perceptions of the value of your products or services. This makes decisions about pricing crucial to reaching breakeven（保底，不虧不賺，收支平衡） and becoming profitable.

While long-term business plans set the general direciton, no single strategy works for every products or service your business offers for sale. Instead, pricing strategies tend to differ according to marketing objectives and a product's place within its life cycle（產(chǎn)品生命周期）.

Start by analyzing aspects and characteristics of the product or service that affect pricing decisions. Review your marketing plan and marketing mix decisions（營銷組合決策，計劃）, such as how you intend to approach promotion and distribution（促銷分銷）.

4P: product，price，place，packaging

Include the target market, product costs, estimated or actual consumer demand and both direct and indirect competition in your analysis.

Move forward in identifying an appropriate pricing strategy by setting pricing goals. In addtion to linking closely to the product life cycle stage, most strategies relate in some way to market share or penetration（市場份額與滲透度）, cost control and profitablity.

For example, sales revenue and distribution maximizaiton, quality leadership and maintaining the status quo are among the most common pricing goals. Sales revenue and distribution maximization focus on increasing market share and long-term cost control.

The right pricing strategy for a product or service might not be a single strategy. Instead, the most appropriate strategy might be to combine two or more strategies into one. 博弈綜合
