Koç University OPSM 405 Service Management Class 10: Conjoint Analysis using Excel Zeynep Aksin zaksin@ku.edu.tr
Overview of method • Service characterized by attributes • Each attribute has a limited number of levels • Ask individuals about their preferences • On a selected group of combinations • On all possible combinations • We will assume that preferences are expressed in terms of ratings • Analyze ratings (using linear regression) to develop a value system for each individual • Perform output analysis
Doing basic conjoint in Excel: design of a sweater • Consider 3 attributes: fabric (cotton, polyester, lambswool); color (red, blue); price (50, 100, or 150 YTL) • Full-factorial experimental design: (3)(2)(3)=18 product concepts • Ratings on a scale of 0-10 (least-highest preference) • Code data in Excel (removing linear dependency) • Perform multiple regression in Excel • Spreadsheet available on F drive
Step by step procedure • Collect preference data: want to have at least as many cards as variables to be estimated • Code using “dummy coding”:1 if feature present, 0 otherwise • Remove linear dependency, take reference level as 0 • Perform simple multiple regression: Y=b1(P)+b2(L)+b3(Blue)+b4(100)+b5(150)+ constant+error
