Title
Is this brand ephemeral? A multivariate tree-based decision analysis of new product sustainability
Abstract
Decision tree methodology has become an increasingly important tool set in the field of decision science. We develop a multivariate, tree-based decision system for a new application: the determination of whether a newly launched consumer product should be allowed to continue in a highly competitive market. The system is designed to overcome a shortcoming-the inability to capture multivariate interactions-of traditional decision methods. We apply the proposed method to an instant noodle sales data set that contains 38 million transactions, and compare results across several methods.
