Band 7: Conjoint-Analyse

Tim Kaltenborn, Harald Fiedler, Ralf Lanwehr & Torsten Melles:

Conjoint-Analyse.

Mit der Conjoint-Analyse werden Fragestellungen nach wichtigen Merkmalen sowie dem Potential von Neu- und Weiterentwicklungen von (Produkt-)Konzepten und der Preisbereitschaft beim Kunden beantwortet. Der Vorteil der CA als dekompositionelles Verfahren gegenüber anderen, direkten Methoden der Relevanzmessung ist, dass Gesamtbeurteilungen von ausgewählten Objekten erfragt werden, die anschließend in Einzelurteile bezüglich der Merkmale und Ausprägungen dieser Objekte zerlegt/dekomponiert werden.
Das Buch ist eine anwenderorientierte Einführung in die CA. Es beschreibt die wichtigsten Verfahrensvarianten, führt mit Praxisbeispielen in die typischen Anwendungen ein und entwickelt ein Verständnis für die häufigsten Fallstricke. Die Praxisdurchführung der CA wird zusätzlich an drei Computerprogrammen (SSI Web von Sawtooth Software, CAM von NORDLIGHT research, Conjoint in R) erläutert.
