A price taker is a company which does not have a sufficiently strong market position to influence the price of its products or services.
As CobaltPro was merely a price taker, it was not a very attractive investment opportunity for our investment fund.
Being a price taker is an unfavorable position because the company must conform to prices as determined by the market. If the market allows it to charge only a rather low price, the price taker must adjust its costs in order to continue selling and to generate a profit. In contrast, a price maker is a company which is in a sufficiently strong position to set the price of its products or services, usually due to its having a monopoly or being part of an oligopoly.
Příjemce ceny je společnost, která nemá dostatečně silné tržní postavení, aby ovlivňovala cenu svých výrobků nebo služeb.
Jelikož společnost CobaltPro byla pouze příjemcem ceny, nebyla pro náš investiční fond příliš atraktivní investiční příležitostí.
Pozice příjemce ceny je nevýhodná, protože společnost se musí přizpůsobit cenám, které nastaví trh. Pokud jí trh dovolí účtovat jen relativně nízkou cenu, příjemce ceny musí přizpůsobit své náklady, aby mohl pokračovat v prodeji a realizovat zisk. Oproti tomu cenotvůrce je společnost, která je v dostatečně silné pozici pro stanovení ceny svých výrobků nebo služeb, obvykle prostřednictvím monopolu nebo oligopolu.
