October 09, 2017– In a landmark publication that promises to revolutionize business thinking, Aline Saade introduces “Strategic Pricing in Emerging Markets: An Aviation Professional’s Guide”, a compelling exploration of how cultural intelligence and strategic pricing can unlock unprecedented business opportunities.
Drawing from an extraordinary career spanning two decades with airlines and managing pricing strategies across seven diverse countries, Saade offers a masterful narrative that transcends traditional business literature.

She demonstrates how cultural understanding is not just an academic concept, but a critical driver of market success. The book reveals how organizations can transform traditional pricing approaches by integrating deep cultural insights with sophisticated strategic frameworks.

She explores critical themes that resonate far beyond the aviation industry, including how family-centric approaches can revolutionize customer relationships and why global capabilities must be balanced with local sensitivities.
The book offers practical, actionable strategies for businesses in multiple sectors – from aviation and retail to hospitality and professional services. Saade provides a comprehensive toolkit for turning market disruptions into opportunities, measuring success through nuanced metrics that go beyond traditional financial indicators.
