Demand shaping

Demand shaping is the influencing of demand to match planned supply. For example, in a manufacturing business, dynamic pricing can be used to manage demand.[1] [2] Dell Inc., is one of the best example of companies that practice Demand Shaping and dynamic pricing.[3] From its currently available supplies, Dell posts special sales weeks that influences the demand.
