Gregory Wilson · Answer 1

varies the prices according to the supply and demand of cars.

Explanation:

Operation oriented pricing involves varying prices based on demand and supply. It aims to improve operational efficiency and optimise productive capacity.

For example hotels will seek to fill all their rooms as an empty room will be an unproductive asset.

So for Rent and Drive to implement this strategy it will needs to keep all its assets (cars) busy and productive.
