Popis: Market segmentation allows the strategic marketer to determine where and how the company should allocate its marketing efforts. Unfortunately, the use of segmentation techniques in business-to-business markets is still largely based on traditional variables (e.g. size and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes). This paper uses two statistical techniques for demonstrating the segmentation of a business-to-business market based upon product attributes and the decision process. The results of the analysis show substantial differences between these market segmentation schemes and traditional methods of business-to-business segmentation methods.
