This work develops an evaluation framework to Arts-Based Brand Research (ABBR) to make methods comparable. Further the evaluation framework is used to compare four arts-based methods. It turned out that previous studies try to capture the brand image on a verbal cognitive level, but this...

This article examines basic features of ranked Conjoint-data, analyzes the adequacy of evaluation methods and proposes improvements for better utilizing the information provided by ranked data. It is shown that commonly used goodness-of-fit measures provide inadequate proxy measures for...

Basic confounding patterns for full-profile conjoint analyses based upon ranking are examined. It is shown that commonly used orthogonal main-effect designs can lead to biased part-worth estimates, especially to an underestimation of less important variables. An alternative design procedure is...

This paper presents a method for visualizing competitive market structures based on scanner panel date where asymmetries are taken into account. For this, I combined consumer choice models based on mixed logit models with three-mode principal component analysis. This approach can be used to...

There are two main research traditions for analyzing market basket data that exist more or less independently from each other, namely exploratory and explanatory model types. Exploratory approaches are restricted to the task of discovering cross-category interrelationships and provide marketing...

The following research is guided by the hypothesis, that products chosen on a shopping trip in a supermarket are an indicator of the preference interdependencies between different products or brands. The bundle chosen on the trip can be regarded as an indicator of a global utility function. More...

Strong market orientation is essential for innovation success! Although both academics and market research practitioners would generally accept this statement, alignment with the needs of the customer often results in conservative innovation strategies. Due to their focus on what is currently on...

It is increasingly observable that in different industries competitors jointly acquire and share customer data. We propose a modified Hotelling model with two-dimensional consumer heterogeneity to analyze the incentives for such agreements and their welfare implications. In our model the...

We introduce three types of consumer recognition: identity recognition, asymmetric preference recognition, and symmetric preference recognition. We characterize price equilibria and compare profits, consumer surplus, and total welfare. Asymmetric preference recognition enhances profits compared...
