12. What is Conjoint Analysis? Family of techniques that model choice by decomposing overall preference or evaluation in terms of the relative values of the components or attributes to respondents. Conjoint analysis requires research participants to make a series of trade-offs. Analysis of these trade- offs will reveal the relative importance of component attributes.

13. Applications New product design Fine-tune marketing mix Simulate markets: Which brand configuration performs best against current and likely competitor brands?

17. Utility Coefficients

19. Attributes Should Be… Determinant Easily measured and communicated Controllable by the company Realistic Such that there will be preferences for some levels over others

20. How Many Levels per Attribute? Must consider: Levels and their range should be meaningful, informative, and realistic to consumers and producers Marginal increases in levels can greatly increase respondent’s reaction

21. Conjoint Analysis-Uses An extremely powerful and useful analysis tool Used to determine the relative importance of various attributes to respondents, based on their making trade-off judgments Useful in Helping to select features on a new product/service Understanding relationships (interdependencies) Predicting sales

22. Input The dependent variable is the preference judgment that a respondent makes about a new concept The independent variables are the attribute levels that need to be specified Respondents make judgments about the concept either by considering Two attributes at a time Trade-off approach Full profile of attributes Full profile approach

23. Output A value of relative utility is assigned to each level of an attribute called partworth utilities The combination with the highest utilities should be the one that is most preferred And the combination with the lowest total utility is the least preferred

24. Limitations In the trade-off approach, the task is too unrealistic Trade-off judgments is being made on two attributes, holding the others constant In the full-profile approach, the task can get very demanding, if there are multiple attributes and attribute levels
