Abstract
The predominant paradigm in marketing for explaining buyer choice behavior is that choices reflect buyer evaluations of the attributes possessed by alternatives. Internal market structure analysis seeks to recover the attributes, and the buyer evaluations of those attributes, that govern brand choices. This essay briefly reviews some of the most recent developments in internal market structure analysis and discusses prospects for further work.

A recently developed unfolding methodology for analyzing preferential/dominance data that addresses the product positioning/repositioning decision problem of product (re)design and targeting by relating brand and consumer characteristics explicitly to perceptual brand locations and ideal points respectively is presented.

In analogy with the wandering vector model, a probabilistic multidimensional unfolding model is proposed for representing paired comparisons data and it is shown that contrary to other stochastic multiddimensional unfolding models, the present model does not imply strong Stochastic transitivity, only moderate stochastically transitivity.

Four algorithms for locating an “optimal” new product in a multiattribute product space are compared and results indicate that algorithm performance is sensitive to the number of customers or segments, and the presence of probabilistic choice, and lesssensitive to the numbers of existing products.

Inferring an Ideal-Point Product-Market Map from Consumer Panel Data
13 Citations1988Terry Elrod
Choice Map is a model for inferring a product-market map from consumer panel data that combines the rationale of random utility models, the parsimony of stochastic brand choice models, and the ability of multidimensional scaling procedures to simultaneously infer brand positions and consumer preferences for attributes from preference (choice) data.
