Abstract

Conjoint analysis has many applications (Cattin, Wittink (1982), Wittink, Cattin (1989)). Frequently, it is used in the context of new product design (Mahajan, Wind (1992)). Practical applications involve the estimation of the importance of selected product attributes (Gaul, Lutz, Aust (1993)) or the assessment of new product candidates where part worth estimates on an individual level and profiles of established products to model competition in the marketplace are taken as inputs (Page, Rosenbaum (1987)).
