- [Slide 224: Market Simulations](slide-224.html.md) — Given the following preference values — which product should we offer on the market?
- [Slide 225: Market Simulations](slide-225.html.md) — Given the following preference values — which product should we offer on the market?
- [Slide 226: Market Simulations](slide-226.html.md) — Given the following preference values — which product should we offer on the market?
- [Slide 227: Market Simulations](slide-227.html.md) — Suppose: 80 % of customers prefer round things, 20 % prefer square ones. What kind of things should we bring to market?
- [Slide 228: Why Market Simulations?](slide-228.html.md) — Market simulations reflect reality better than purely data-driven models — and deliver decisions that actually hold up in competition.
- [Slide 229: What Do Market Simulations Do?](slide-229.html.md) — The basic process runs individually for each respondent — and is then aggregated into market shares:
- [Slide 230: What Do Market Simulations Do?](slide-230.html.md) — The product choice per respondent is determined by so-called choice rules — e.g.:
- [Slide 231: Advanced Techniques of Market Analysis](slide-231.html.md) — 6.1 Conjoint Analysis · 6.2 Market Simulations · 6.3 Segmentation · 6.4 Perceptual Positioning Maps
- [Slide 232: Market Segmentation](slide-232.html.md) — Market segmentation refers to dividing the "relevant market" into groups of consumers who are internally homogeneous and externally heterogeneous — and…
- [Slide 233: Effective Market Segmentation](slide-233.html.md) — Six criteria determine the efficiency and economic viability of a segment solution:
- [Slide 234: Typology of Segmentation Bases](slide-234.html.md) — Typology of Bases
- [Slide 235: Benefit Segmentation](slide-235.html.md) — The benefit that consumers expect from products is considered one of the most relevant segmentation bases of all:
- [Slide 236: Evaluation of Segmentation Bases](slide-236.html.md) — Highlighted — the most promising bases in practice: In combination they best cover the segmentation criteria.
- [Slide 237: How do the segments differ?](slide-237.html.md) — Cluster Profiles · "Christmas Trees"
- [Slide 238: Benefit Segmentation Paradox](slide-238.html.md) — When segmenting by expected benefit, one must clearly distinguish between two types of variables:
- [Slide 239: Advanced Techniques of Market Analysis](slide-239.html.md) — 6.1 Conjoint Analysis · 6.2 Market Simulations · 6.3 Segmentation · 6.4 Perceptual Positioning Maps
- [Slide 240: Positioning](slide-240.html.md) — Positioning aligns all marketing activities with the preference structures of potential customers — taking into account the competing products.
- [Slide 241: The Role of Perception](slide-241.html.md) — The same respondents, the same colas — only the knowledge of the brand changes. The preference flips:
- [Slide 242: Perceptual Positioning Maps](slide-242.html.md) — Perceptual positioning maps depict the positions of competing products, brands or companies in a "virtual" attribute space — the way consumers perceive…
- [Slide 243: Objective of Positioning](slide-243.html.md) — The objective of positioning is to occupy such a position in consumers' perception that is:
- [Slide 244: Perceptual map of armchair designs](slide-244.html.md) — Example: Armchair Designs
- [Slide 245: Perceptual Positioning Maps](slide-245.html.md) — Example: Beer Brands
- [Slide 246: Perceptual Positioning Maps](slide-246.html.md) — The closer the brands are, the more similar they are in consumers' perception — the stronger ("more direct") the competition.
- [Slide 247: Perceptual Positioning Maps](slide-247.html.md) — Consumers' perception of brands: The farther a brand is from the origin along an attribute vector, the more strongly this attribute is expressed in it.
- [Slide 248: Perceptual Positioning Maps](slide-248.html.md) — The smaller the angle between attribute vectors, the higher their pairwise correlation.
- [Slide 249: Perceptual Positioning Maps](slide-249.html.md) — The longer the vector, the more strongly this attribute differentiates between the beers.
- [Slide 250: Perceptual Positioning Maps](slide-250.html.md) — Axes are "virtual" attribute vectors that differentiate most strongly. Their label is usually derived from the neighboring vectors.
- [Slide 251: Perceptual Positioning Maps](slide-251.html.md) — Straightforward assessment of segment potential and attractiveness; straightforward formulation of positioning strategies, statements and advertising…
- [Slide 252: Example: Perception Map of Pain Relievers](slide-252.html.md) — Example: Pain Relievers
- [Slide 253: Example: Perception Map of Pain Relievers](slide-253.html.md) — Example: Pain Relievers · Solution
