expected value approach
the value of an option equals the sum of outcomes weighted by their probabilities
expected value approach
the value of an option equals the sum of outcomes weighted by their probabilities
Expected value = sum (outcome * probability of outcome)
prospect theory
perception of probability is biased
overvalue small probabilities and undervalue large probabilities
perception of probability, value and reference point are biased
losses loom larger than equivalent gains (loss aversion)
risk seeking for losses, risk averse for gains
value depends on reference point
silver linings principle
how do people integrate a mixed bag of outcomes? gains and losses
I lost 50 euros at the race track today but found 10 euros in the parking lot while walking back to my car
I lost 10 euros at the race track today but found 50 euros in the parking lot while walking back to my car
coding gains and losses: Hedonic editing
segregation vs integration
Integrated: outcomes are valued jointly
v(x+y)
Segregated: outcomes are valued separately
v(x) + v(y)
I lost 50 euros but found 10 euros (segregation)
I earned 40 euros today (integration)
separation of costs or integration depending
satisfaction “formula”
perceived quality - expectation
satisfaction depends on expectations
two types of customer satisfaction
Transaction specific
Cumulative
Cumulative customer satisfaction
Overall evaluation based on the total purchase and consumption experience with a good or service over time
Transaction-specific customer satisfaction
Post-choice evaluative judgement of a specific purchase occasion
Key benefits of high customer satisfaction
Customer loyalty
Customer margin (reduced price elasticities; less complaints and legal actions
Customer acquisition
(increased positive word of mouth and decreased negative word of mouth)
(more effective advertising through customer satisfaction claims)
high competitive zone
commoditization or low differentiation
Consumer indifference
many substitutes
Low cost of switching
responses to dissatisfaction
Take no action
Voice response
Private response
Public response
Third-party response
the service recovery paradox
Customers are more likely to remain loyal if a service initially fails and is then recovered, than if the customer has received the service without failure
Hedonic editing principle: (watch video)
segregate gains (e.g. specify benefits included in a bundle)
Integrate losses (present 1 vs many prices, present)
mental accounting
Is the process of categorizing money, spending and financial events
Describes why people intuitively do these tings, and how it impacts financial decision-making
Using mental accounting often leads to odd and suboptimal decisions
