Inflation: Pre- and Post- Pandemic A Manufacturing and Distribution Pricing Manager’s Guide to Weathering the Storm

In this expert guide, we will examine how the arrival of new inflationary pressures have created new hurdles
for pricing managers at companies faced with preserving margins during volatile times.
We’ll first briefly explore how governments and businesses tried to cope with prior inflationary periods, and
what success (or lack thereof) they encountered.
We’ll then examine the state of inflation today, and the specific problems it is creating for B2B
companies, particularly in terms of profit margins. We’ll look at how the lessons of the 1970s, in
particular, might be applied to today’s situation.
Then, the guide will detail exactly how inflation impacts the job of the B2B pricing team , and what
measures pricing managers can take to mitigate the effects of inflation on their margins.
