Revenue management is concerned with maximizing revenue flows while controlling costs. This is a new management framework combining conventional management accounting concepts and methods with notions of yield management, pricing, and process management. The revenue objective provides a unifying goal for the aforementioned concepts and methods that are especially suitable for service organizations, where revenue considerations are inextricably linked to the activities performed. While our focus is on service organizations, any organization will find something of value in this book.
