Abstract

This is the first of a five-case series (IMD-5-0691 to IMD-5-0695). A Norwegian shipowner needs to determine a pricing policy for a new type of ship to transport heavy cargo, such as oil drilling rigs. Because the new ships offer substantial advantages to rig operators, Dyvi hopes to extract a premium price. However, the ship''s advantages are not believable to the rig owners and Dyvi does not want to reveal to the prospective customer, confidential details on its technology for fear of potential competition. How much should Dyvi reveal? This case was previously numbered 586-002-1.
