ABSTRACT

This chapter talks about interview between Stephan M. Liozu and an interview expert Gernot T. Dambacher. Gernot replied to Stephan's question that he recently presented some pricing basics at a German business conference, and the subsequent discussions with participants clearly showed that especially smaller companies haven't even heard about pricing as a stand-alone discipline. Also replied about his career progression that he started with a medium-sized German company in technical service and R&D roles, moving on to what today is known as Evonik Industries AG, becoming responsible for marketing for a strategic R&D project that was transferred to a business unit at a later stage. Gernot T. Dambacher answered to the question of Stephen that he has monthly meetings with all relevant HR leaders in his company, and discusses career paths and potential next steps for the ones willing to move on and profiles of potential new candidates ready to join his teams.
