  • Abstract
    This paper studies and identifies seven competitive strategic elements (price, product differentiation, quality image, quality of performance, flexibility and service after delivery) and their relative importance in forming strategic plans. The conjoint analysis has been used to identify how consumers form their preferences in regard to the aforementioned elements. The results suggest a new direction for forming consumer-driven strategic plans
