What you’ll learn in this course

What is conjoint analysis? When should you use it? How do you compare it to other data analysis options, including MaxDiff? If clients ask about it, how can you help them understand its benefits and limitations? What tools are available for conducting conjoint analysis?

In this market research training course, Instructor Jeff McKenna teaches students basic concepts and usage scenarios. Thanks to this course, you will be able to consider and discuss conjoint analysis and MaxDiff with confidence.
