Abstract
Conjoint and Preference Analyses were used in an attempt to identify a potential new product's optimal configuration. From each analysis, the same conclusions were drawn, that is, there was no analytic advantage of one analysis over the other. Since the Preference Analysis was more simple and less costly to use, this procedure seems more desirable to use in optimizing a new product's design.
