Abstract

Conjoint analysis is employed to decompose the consumer's preference judgements into the importance of attributes, and to predict the degree of preference for each profile of the products, services, or ideas. It has been widely used in industrial marketing, particularly in the areas of product positioning and new product development. This paper is mainly concerned with the conjoint analysis based on the Chebyshev estimation since the efficiency of the least squares estimator is lower than that of the Chebyshev estimator when the preferences are measured as the rank-order. A case study is performed on the preference for cellular phones. And it is shown that conjoint analysis based on the Chebyshev estimation is superior, in terms of the predictive validity, to one which is based on the least squares estimation.

제품이나 서비스에 대한 소비자의 선호도에 영향을 미치는 주요 속성들의 중요도를 평가하고 각 속성의 수준에 대한 선호도를 측정하며 제품프로파일에 대한 선호도를 예측하기 위하여 컨조인트분석이 사용되는데, 제품 포지셔닝이나 신제품 개발 분야에 이분석이 많이 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 체비쉐프추정에 바탕을 둔 컨조인트분석에 관하여 연구하였는데, 소비자로 하여금 제품프로파일별 선호도를 순위로 응답하게 하는 경우 최소자승추정에 의 한 컨조인트 분석의 효율성이 상대적으로 낮다고 판단되기 때문이다. 따라서 새로운 개념의 휴대전화기에 대한 소비자들의 선호도를 조사하고 체비쉐프추정에 의한 컨조인트분석을 실행하여 신제품 개발에 활용하도록 하였다. 추정 방법 별로 예측타당성을 측정하여 비교하였는데, 체비쉐프추정에 의한 컨조인트분석이 최소자승추정에 의한 컨조인트분석보다 타당성이 높다는 사실을 확인하였다.
