Another interesting aspect is that of gaming A lot of blog space has been dedicated to people asking how they can game the system by studying their competitors routines and taking advantage of their reliance on an algorithm Analysis shows that when there are more than two sellers each player cares only about its closest rivals those immediately above and below them In the search for an advantage a gamer may note for example that their main competitor updates at am each morning To optimise return the gamer may consider keeping their price high during the night thus encouraging the competitor to raise their price early the next day This gives the gamer the opportunity to reset their price slightly cheaper than their competitors while still maintaining a hefty premium on cost
When we see going up and down fluctuating around a certain level in a cyclical nature it is likely the result of a strategic seller trying to game their competitors repricing rules By working in this way to maintain a higher margin both gamers and those being gamed end up sharing the market at a higher price range to the benefit of all except maybe the customer
However if too many sellers with similar products try to game the system we see a different pattern altogether The market ends up in a very competitive state can dip and everyone is worse off
While algorithms give sellers the choice of how frequently they choose to update their every hour day twice a week etc most sellers understand the danger of changing too frequently and confusing customers to the extent that they may be reluctant to make a purchase at all
Strategic competitors level the eplaying field
The lesson here is too much attention to can harm your trade With an algorithm in place along with simple rules including price floors and multiplicative adjustment factors you should be to let the market find the optimum equilibrium for your product While iIts good to keep an eye on your if you feel like youre being gamed dont make any rash decisions It is likely your price will remain at a profitable level and the presence of a strategic seller will benefit all
Turning Sustainability into a Value Driver
When talking to investor relations executives and board members of listed companies about communicating sustainability initiatives a frequent statement I hear is why bother our investors are not interested in sustainability This claim is grounded in the observation that there are few questions in shareholders meetings and earnings calls that address the topic But that doesnt mean investors are not interested
In fact its quite the contrary We can now say that those profitably engaging with environmental social and governance ESG issues are given higher valuations by the market As we point out in a recent article over the past two years Robeco Asset Management has applied its value driver adjustment approach in investment cases which had an average target price impact of five percent on the stocks analysed based on key ESG factors In percent of cases this approach led to a positive change in the stocks target price and in percent of cases a negative change Overall percent of the cases were impacted with target price adjustments ranging from percent to percent
The value driver adjustment approach consists of a straightforward threestep process as conducted by the sustainability analysts of Robeco
Identify and focus on the most material issues for the industry
Analyse the impact of these material factors on the individual company
Quantify competitive disadvantages to adjust value driver assumptions
Far from being an obligation a good materiality analysis and reporting could prove a very worthwhile exercise Differentiation and significant target price adjustments are a serious possibility

The Considerations for Launching an Innovation
Contrary to popular belief innovations dont sell themselves Successful adoption depends on how brands position themselves and how much they listen to their customers
Innovation matters to the longterm success of firms and marketing plays a key role in developing and launching innovations While I have no doubt that managers and executives think carefully about the circumstances in which they propose to launch an innovation recent marketing research brings to light an extended list of critical factors to consider in formulating longterm strategies as well as specific tools to reduce the uncertainty inherent in such decisions
Marketing practitioners may be especially interested in several studies covered at greater length in my comprehensive article Strategic Marketing for the CSuite offering new concepts and metrics for concretising the nuanced relationship between success in innovation and consumer demand Contrary to the conventional wisdom which typically focuses on one ning strategy the research suggests that a companys ability to innovate successfully depends on its specific consumer mandate
