This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At this point in time, there is no generally accepted methodology for explaining and predicting human behavior given a product choice situation. This is true despite the critical importance of such meth odology to marketing, transportation and urban planning. While the social sciences provide numerous theories to be tested and the mathe matical and statistical procedures exist in general to do so, at this point, no single unified theory has emerged. It is generally accepted that to explain product choice behav ior,products must be described in terms of attributes. Using anyone of a number of procedures, it is possible to obtain measurements on the attributes of the products under consideration. However, there is no generally accepted methodology. Given the attribute profiles of two products, in order to explain and predict preference, it is necessary to determine the relative importance of each of the product attributes. Once again, there is no generally accepted methodology. There are two basic approaches: The first, called the attitudinal approach, obtains importance measure ments directly from respondents using one of many scaling techniques; the second, termed the inferential method endeavors to infer impor tances from product preference and attribute data. Since it is gen erally felt that respondents are unwilling and/or unable to provide meaningful importance measurements, the inferential method is most widely accepted.

Download or read book Applied Conjoint Analysis written by Vithala R. Rao and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conjoint analysis is probably the most significant development in marketing research in the past few decades. It can be described as a set of techniques ideally suited to studying customers’ decision-making processes and determining tradeoffs. Though this book is oriented towards methods and applications of conjoint analysis in marketing, conjoint methods are also applicable for other business and social sciences. After an introduction to the basic ideas of conjoint analysis the book describes the steps involved in designing a ratings-based conjoint study, it covers various methods for estimating partworth functions from preference ratings data, and dedicates a chapter on methods of design and analysis of conjoint-based choice experiments, where choice is measured directly. Chapter 5 describes several methods for handling a large number of attributes. Chapters 6 through 8 discuss the use of conjoint analysis for specific applications like product and service design or product line decisions, product positioning and market segmentation decisions, and pricing decisions. Chapter 9 collates miscellaneous applications of marketing mix including marketing resource allocation or store location decisions. Finally, Chapter 10 reviews more recent developments in experimental design and data analysis and presents an assessment of future developments.

Download or read book Specification and Estimation of Multiple Output Production Functions written by G. Hasenkamp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is intended as a contribution to applied work in production theory by treating: a) The measurement problems involved whenever several outputs are jointly produced, and b) The (possible) econometric framework for estimating production function parameters whenever (relative) prices vary sufficiently over the observations. Thus, the "pure" theory of production, and the theory of non-linear regression is not treated in sufficient detail: for these topics we refer to the available literature~ for a comprehensive list of references we refer to Uebe (1975). Some years ago, papers by L. J. Lau and W. E. Diewert initiated my interest in duality within production theory, and then I started to appreciate R. W. Shephard's fundamental contribution to this topic. This monograph is a (minor) revision of a Ph. D. dissertation submitted to the Department of Economics, The University of Wisconsin, Madison, in August 1973. The Graduate School and the Social Systems Research Institute provided funds for the reported computer work, Lawrence R. Klein and Laurits R. Christensen provided data, and as a Graduate Student I received financial support in form of an University Fellowship~ all this is very much appreciated. With some nostalgia I think back to the enjoyable period of learning during the preparation of my diFosertation~ I appreciate the spirit within the department, and the guidance of my committee Arthur S. Goldberger, Dennis J. Aigner, and Laurits R. Christensen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Analytics refers to various categories of analytical approaches for modelling different business situations and arriving at solutions and strategies for optimal decision-making in marketing, finance, operations, organizational behaviour and other managerial processes. Thus, Business Analytics today refers to different approaches for modelling and arriving at assessing and predicting risk, predicting market preferences, project feasibility, customer segmentation, inherent and underlying dimensions in consumer preferences, factors leading to probability of purchase, preferred segments in financial and credit card industry, probability of attrition in large organizations, etc.The myriad of modelling and other analytical approaches which constitute Business Analytical applications in Indian Industry today include predominantly:• Determining which attributes in a product are considered significant by the market and which are found to be significantly satisfactory—Gap Analysis.• Analytical Modelling by Factor and Cluster Analysis.• Analytical Modelling by Logistics Regression and Discriminant Analysis.• Segmentation of primary target market by Heuristic Modelling such as RFM (recency, frequency, monetary) analysis.• Segmentation of target market based on large databases using Decision Tree approaches such as CHAID (Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection) and other Classification and Regression Trees.• Determining Linkages between unobserved constructs such as customer satisfaction and factors leading to it, using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM).• Determining relative preferences in consumer perceptions by Conjoint Analysis.In this book, the author has discussed these analytical approaches following a classroom teaching format, drawing from her extensive teaching experience spanning over 30 years. The book first discusses all important concepts and then case studies are discussed which emulate real-life managerial situations.This textbook is designed to serve the needs of management students for a course in Business Analytics.
Download or read book Cluster Analysis written by B. S. Duran and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tremendous amount of work has been done over the last thirty years in cluster analysis, with a significant amount occurring since 1960. A substantial portion of this work has appeared in many journals, including numerous applied journals, and a unified ex position is lacking. The purpose of this monograph is to supply such an exposition by presenting a brief survey on cluster analysis. The main intent of the monograph is to give the reader a quick account of the prob lem of cluster analysis and to expose to him the various aspects thereof. With this intent in mind much detail has been omitted, particularly in so far as detailed examples are considered. Most of the references stated within the text contain examples and the reader can consult them for additional information on specific topics. Efforts were made to include in the reference section all papers that played a role in developing the "theory" of cluster analysis. Any omission of such references was not intentional and we would appreciate knowing about them. Many references to papers in applied journals are also contained, however, the list-is far from being complete. This monograph has been greatly influenced by the work of many people, most notably, J. A. Hartigan, D. Wishart, J. K. Bryan, R. E. Jensen, H. D. Vinod, and M. R. Rao. Several portions of the monograph were motivated by research performed under the support of NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, Earth Observations Division, under Contract NAS 9-12775.
