Key Concepts

Compensatory Decision Rule

The compensatory decision rule is a method where a product’s overall evaluation is based on the summation of its various attributes. In this approach, a low score in one attribute can be offset by a high score in another, allowing consumers to make tradeoffs among multiple attributes. It is especially useful when decisions involve complex products with several important factors such as price, quality, performance, and style.

Conjunctive Decision Rule

The conjunctive decision rule requires that an alternative meet a minimum standard for every attribute considered. In this method, consumers set a threshold for each key characteristic, and if an option fails to reach this minimum in any area, it is immediately eliminated from consideration. This approach simplifies decision making by filtering out unsatisfactory options early in the evaluation process.

Disjunctive Decision Rule

The disjunctive decision rule focuses on finding one or a few standout attributes that are especially important to the consumer. Instead of requiring that all criteria be met or that shortcomings be balanced out by stronger points, this method involves selecting alternatives that excel in a critical area, even if other attributes are less impressive. It is commonly used when a particular feature or attribute is seen as a deal breaker or a must-have.
