of them have the same need for avoiding sleepiness and to stay focused. The difference
is that the process to know the Nescafe products. Respondent 1 found out from an
intermediary while respondent 2 knew it firsthand when she found it at the minimarket.

product before and product competitor which has almost the same value. Therefore there
is a lag time for respondents to make a choice.
