    ‘Compare and contrast’ means that they want you to describe each of them and explain the difference.

    Penetration pricing is setting a low price in order to try and gain market share (with the intention of increasing the price later).
    Price skimming is starting with a high price with the intention of reducing it over time.

    I give ‘real life’ examples of both in the free lecture on pricing.
