Abstract
Pricing decision is a crucial decision every organization has to make, because this will eventually affect their corporate objectives, either directly or indirectly. For pricing to be effective, firms must incorporate factors like manufacturer’s pricing objective, economic situation, level of competition, and availability of close substitute in selecting the most advantageous price for its product. At times, firms are not in the habit of considering these factors and this has led to the shutting down of many factories, downsizing of workforce and in most cases, winding up of firms. This study therefore investigated the impact of pricing policies on profitability using Nigeria Wire and Cables in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria as case study. The study employed descriptive survey research design with a sample size of sixty three respondents. Questionnaire was designed for testing the two hypotheses derived. The hypotheses were tested using ANOVA. The findings of the study revealed that pricing Policy of a firm have a significant influence on the degree to which a manufacturing firm can achieve optimum profitability. It showed that effective profit planning has effect on the profitability of manufacturing firms. Among other recommendations of the findings is that managers must always monitor the marketplace to determine prices that customers are willing to pay for products or service, if they must succeed, and that, price policy should be adopted on product for a group with similar propensity to consume.
