The Designer’s Guide to Marketing and Pricing is one of the books I refer to in the workshop. Peleg Top and Ilese Benun authored this smart marketing tool.

Such strategic moves—termed “value innovation”—create powerful leaps in value for both the firm and its buyers, rendering rivals obsolete and unleashing new demand. This is hard core marketing theory that makes a lot of sense. This is not required reading but we will utilize some of the powerful principles outlined in this book.
