The chapter discusses two approaches to deriving consumers’ utility functions for attributes and levels of attributes. These approaches, orthogonal array and pair-wise trade-off comparisons, are currently the most widely used.

Market Structure Analysis is a review of various technologies as they relate to a current conceptual model, called the behavioral market structure model. The purpose behind these technologies is to promote a greater understanding and usage of marketing structure in marketing planning. To reach this end, the following issues are discussed:

  • Multidimensional scaling and the four major types of measuring scales (nominal, ordinal, ratio, and interval);
  • Two approaches to deriving consumers’ utility functions for attributes and levels of attributes;
  • Stefflre’s approach to processes of perception, positioning, and product planning; and
  • The technique of benefit structure analysis, used to systematically search for needs in broadly defined markets.

With this collection of articles, the editors have provided an in-depth, thorough analysis of marketing structuring, measurement theory, and measuring scales. The research collected here will prove invaluable to students and scholars of marketing, as well as economists and business firms.
