Question:
Please provide a summary of Dorfman Steiner condition

Dorfman-Steiner condition should not be thought of an exact quantitative decision rule. Other factors might also important. The rule is derived 'ceteris paribus' and ignores other strategic behavior, capacity and so on. However, the formula says that price elasticity of demand and the advertising elasticity of demand are crucial for the choice between a pricing strategy and advertising strategy.
