MARK3054 Lecture 3: MARK3054 Topic 3
Topic 3: Conjoint Analysis
• Product superiority is a powerful success driver
• New Product Development Process:
o Opportunity identification (market definition, idea generation)
o Design (identifying customer needs, segmentation, positioning, marketing
mix, sales forecasting, engineering)
o Testing (advertising and product testing, pretest and prelaunch forecasting,
test marketing)
o Introduction (launch planning, track launch)
o Life cycle management (market response analysis and fine tuning marketing
mix, competitive monitoring and defence, innovation at maturity)
• Ke Research Questio: cosuers’ preferece for a product, aog the eistig
products on the market
Lecture Example: Frozen Pizzas
• Number of product options = product of total number of attributes
• Decision Rules
o Compensatory: willing to sacrifice on one attribute for another attribute e.g.
higher price for a preferred topping
o Non-compensatory
▪ Conjunctive: sets a minimally acceptable cut-off level for each
attribute (brand chosen must meet ALL)
▪ Disjunctive: sets a minimally acceptable cut-off level for each
attribute (brand chosen if ANY attributes meets)
▪ Lexicographic: attributes ranked, then options are compared with the
most important attribute. If there is a tie, then options are compared
again with the second most important attribute.
Direct Questions (ask
respondents opinions about
attributes and attribute levels)
Case Map (rate importance of each
attribute, rate each attribute choice)
