ANALYTICAL ATTRIBUTE APPROACHES:
TRADE-OFF ANALYSIS AND QUALITATIVE TECHNIQUES
3 7-3Trade-Off (Conjoint) Analysis
• Put the determinant attributes together in combinations or sets.
• Respondents rank these sets in order of preference.
• Conjoint analysis finds the optimal levels of each attribute.

9 7-9 An Idea Stimulator Checklistfor Industrial Products
• Can we change the physical/chemical properties of the material?• Are each of the functions really necessary?• Can we construct a new model of this?• Can we change the form of power to make it work better?• Can standard components be substituted?• What if the order of the process were changed?• How might it be made more compact?• What if it were heat-treated/hardened/cured/plated?• Who else could use this operation or its output?• Has every step been computerized as much as possible?

Relationships Analysis
• Force combinations of dimensions (features, functions, and benefits) together.
• Techniques:
– Two-dimensional matrix
– Multidimensional (morphological) matrix
• Two-dimensional example: person/animal insured and event insured against.
• Household cleaning products example used six dimensions:
– Instrument used, ingredients used, objects cleaned, type of container, substances removed, texture or form of cleaner
11 7-11 Other Methods:Lateral Search Techniques
• Free association
• Stereotype activity
• Lateral thinking -- avoidance
• Creative stimuli words
• Studying “big winners”
• Use of the ridiculous
• Forced relationships
12 7-12Lateral Thinking -- Avoidance
Keep an idea from dominating thinking as it always has in the past by asking avoiding questions.
• Ask “Is there another way of looking at this?”• Ask “Why?”• Focus on an aspect of the problem other than the
“logical” one.• List all possible alternatives to every aspect of the
analysis.• Break apart aspects (concepts) of the problem, or
combine them to create even more concepts.
13 7-13
Some Creative Stimuli Words
• Guest stars
• Alphabet
• Truth
• Outer space
• Charity
• His and hers
• Style
• Nation
• Family
• Videotape
• Photography
• Testimonials
• Decorate
• Fantasy
• Hobbies
• Holidays
• Weather
• Calendar
• Push button
• Snob appeal
14 7-14Use of the Ridiculous
• How can you join two wires together?– Hold them with your teeth.– Use chewing gum.
• Can you think of others?
• Do any of these ridiculous ideas suggest a not-so-ridiculous solution?
