The keystone species of this ecosystem is pricing and the systems to support their definition, management and exception management. Pricing as the keystone specifics of selling and service systems also acts as a catalyst of the quantity and profitability of transactions. Pricing also acts as the defining element of how elastic or inelastic demand for products will be as well. Pricing is so potent as a keystone species it can communicate in an instant what the value of an entire business is. Consider the pricing for a diamond ring that is real, over 4 karats large, versus a cubic zirconium imitation and the example becomes very clear. The price of a Yugo car vs. A new Mini also shows this point, and even in commoditized products pricing still sends a very clear message of implied value and market position.
The information ecology of a selling and service ecosystem also requires the ability to flex or stay agile in response to customer requirements and variations in demand and requirements as well. The pricing attribute in these ecosystems is further defined as the keystone species because entire product lines, their profitability and ability to attract a specific type of customer is entirely predicated on its relative position in the market. The value of an effective pricing strategy is also seen in how effectively a sales channel adopts and continually excels with selling new products as well. Often sales teams struggle with new products' positioning and direction, looking to price as the compass of direction.

The speed and accuracy of transactions will to a large extent be defined more by how effective an organization is managing its analytics and less about how well they protect themselves by being myopic and inward-centric. The second major trend is the focus on customer-driven and demand-driven supply networks over being purely focused on efficiency for its own sake. Now and even more in the future, supply chains will be focused on anticipating and predicting demand first. This is revolutionizing supply chain management today.
The third degree discrimination is when businesses set prices depending on the location and the market segments. Here the supplier will identify the various market segments and have varying prices for the same item due to the varying consumer classes in these regions. The sales managers always have to look at the characteristics of the market and the customers in general. The factors that the sellers consider here are age of
