Article Abstract:

Companies may be able to charge high prices because consumers hope that they will buy success due to a strong brand image. Consumers can examine corporate accounts to see whether prices are too high. The apparent profitablity of some companies may be disguised due to the way in which their accounts are presented. Banks may offer good mortage deals hoping that consumers will not switch once the deal ends. Consumers can sometimes bargain to obtain better deals.
