DescriptionHow do people make choices when there are many attributes to compare (which is most of the time). When there are simple choices, they will use compensatory strategies, trading off different attributes, such as condition against color. Traded attributes are often of similar priority. Another approach is to focus on differences. With complex choices, non-compensatory strategies are often used.
ExampleWhen I bought a new pair of loudspeakers, I used a compensatory strategy to compare and trade off differences between the speakers available in the shop. So what?Using itFind out the strategies that they prefer, for example with a discussion about previous choice and then play to it. DefendingBe aware of the strategies you use and the alternatives. Watch out for people leading you up the garden path. See alsoReferencesEinhorn and Hogarth (1981), Payne (1982), Hogarth (1987) |sp| |
