From the Paper:

"Over the past several years the product pricing for Supa Toys has remained the same, and has not increased in spite of the revenue increases that are being sought as part of the overall strategic plan. The unchanged price also can represent a significant source of additional revenue. While some people view price increases as a last ditch effort when their business cannot be grown or customer base is even dwindling, for a successful company like Supa, the prospect of increasing pricing, of course in a discreet and professional way while the firm is doing well can provide a way to increase revenues without actually having to sell more individual units or to undertake business with disreputable customers who will cause more harm to the organization than good."
