The importance of the development of a brand name must never be ignored because of the ways in which price can be required to be set. There cannot be price set effectively without the establishment of a specific brand by an organization. There has to be a research and development department present in every organization to ensure that there can be estimation of the prices for specific new innovations in specific products (Mandolini et al., 2020).
