Interpreting the sources of market value in a capital goods market: R&D management in industrial sensors
Article Abstract:
An integrated model for studying consumers' view of science-based products was developed. The model couples direct and indirect strategies for assessing a buyer's view of the relative importance of a product, with a new method of benchmarking called technometrics. A new measure for demand is presented, which indicates the extent to which a product's features matches those required by consumers. Several kinds of industrial pressure sensors are used to illustrate the model.
