Managing Finance in Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises
             appropriate  to  price  their  product.  Most  of  the
             respondents are neutral about the acceptance of price
             skimming  as  the  acceptable  pricing  policy  for  their
             products. The majority (30%) of the respondent business
             units found bundle pricing policy to be appropriate to
             price their product. The psychological pricing policy has
             been  considered  neutral  by  majority  (30%)  of  the
             respondents. The result of an analysis is supporting the
             opinion  of  majority  of  the  business  units  towards
             psychological pricing.

             For appropriateness of the premium pricing policy for
             their  products  the  respondent  units  have  given  equal
             weightage to appropriateness as well as to the neutrality
             while using this strategy to price their product. The price
             discrimination  policy  is  considered  to  be  neutral  by
             majority  (31%)  of  the  respondent,  but  the  analysis  is
             tending  towards  the  appropriateness  of  the  price
             discrimination  for  sample  MSME  units  to  price  their
             products.

             The  perception  of  the  respondents  about  the  pricing
             policies shows that they are aware of all available policies
             of pricing of the product. Majority of them are neutral
             about  the  degree  of  appropriateness  of  the  pricing
             policies  for  their  respective  products,  whereas  the
             enterprises  from  service  sector  have  considered  the
             premium pricing for their product to be appropriate.
