(See worksheet at end of assignment) PERCEPTUAL MAPPING ((Multidimensional Scaling using SPSS)
(1) Choose any brand (can be product/service/place/person). Identify 6-7 relevant competitors for the brand. (2) Collect similarity judgments on a scale (e.g. 1-7, where 1=Very Similar and 7=Very Dissimilar) for every pair of the above brands, from (a) Yourself and (b) Any other individual. For example, for set of competing brands: A, B,E Similarity Judgments V.Similar A and B A and C A and D A and E B and C B and D B and E C and D C and E D and E Go to SPSS Click on New, Data 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 V.
