The Economic viewRational Customers Have To …
• Be aware of all available product alternatives

Consumer Decision Rules
• Compensatory• Noncompensatory
– Conjunctive Decision Rule– Disjunctive Decision Rule– Lexicographic Rule
![Page 11: consumer decision making](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54b9c1b14a7959d40d8b4629/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Compensatory Decision Rules
A type of decision rule in which a consumer evaluates each brand in terms of each relevant attribute and then selects the brand with the highest weighted score.
![Page 12: consumer decision making](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54b9c1b14a7959d40d8b4629/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Non-compensatory Decision Rules
A type of consumer decision rule by which positive evaluation of a brand attribute does not compensate for a negative evaluation of the same brand on some other attribute.
![Page 13: consumer decision making](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54b9c1b14a7959d40d8b4629/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Conjunctive Decision Rule
A noncompensatory decision rule in which consumers establish a minimally acceptable cutoff point for each attribute evaluated. Brands that fall below the cutoff point on any one attribute are eliminated from further consideration.
![Page 14: consumer decision making](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54b9c1b14a7959d40d8b4629/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Disjunctive Rule
A noncompensatory decision rule in which consumers establish a minimally acceptable cutoff point for each relevant product attribute.
![Page 15: consumer decision making](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54b9c1b14a7959d40d8b4629/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lexicographic Rule
A noncompensatory decision rule - consumers first rank product attributes in terms of importance, then compare brands in terms of the attribute considered most important.
![Page 16: consumer decision making](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54b9c1b14a7959d40d8b4629/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Affect Referral Decision Rule
A simplified decision rule by which consumers make a product choice on the basis of their previously established overall ratings of the brands considered, rather than on specific attributes.
![Page 17: consumer decision making](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54b9c1b14a7959d40d8b4629/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Table : Hypothetical Use of Popular Decision Rules in Making a Decision to Purchase a Laptop
DECISION RULE MENTAL STATEMENTCompensatory rule “I selected the computer that came out best when I
balanced the good ratings against the bad ratings.”
Conjunctive rule “I selected the computer that had no bad features.”
Disjunctive rule “I picked the computer that excelled in at least one attribute.”
Lexicographic rule “I looked at the feature that was most important to me and chose the computer that ranked highest on that attribute.”
Affect referral rule “I bought the brand with the highest overall rating.”
