The management at Allied Electronics is having difficulty in raising the introductory price on system components to cover the increased costs of producing the sensing devices for home security systems. Apparently, Allied used a(n) strategy in pricing these components.

Penetration  Pricing strategy.

Explanation:

Penetration pricing is a marketing strategy used by businesses to entice customers to try  its new product  or service by offering  lower prices and hopefully keeping them even when the prices rise to its initial levels.  This strategy helps to effectively attract customers since a lower price helps a new product of a good or service penetrate the market faster and helps build competitive advantage from its competitors. Examples include a communication company offering  a month free for data subscription or text messages if consumers download their app from google play store.

This  market penetration pricing strategy may not be sustainable for a long time because low prices in as much ad they cause  increase in sales volume do not guarantee  increase in profits especially  if competitors also reduce their prices making such  company using this strategy run loss.

Here Allied Electronics are having difficulty in raising their price to initial level because they adopted the Penetration pricing  market strategy.

the answer is     d. in our global economy, most job growth will be in services, but manufacturing jobs will exist, too.
