Abstract

Zusammenfassung Unternehmen nutzen Daten zur Optimierung von Preisen. Mit zunehmender Kenntnis individueller Kundenprofile könnte der Spielraum steigen, Individuen gezielt über personalisierte Angebote anzusprechen. Die wettbewerblichen Effekte sind ambivalent: Personalisierte Preise können zur Ausbeutung im Sinne einer Abschöpfung der Konsumentenrente führen, aber auch die Wettbewerbsintensität erhöhen. In der Praxis scheuen sich die Unternehmen bisher weitgehend, individualisierte Preise einzusetzen.
