Huang, Ying-Yuh 05 December 2001 (has links)
In order to find the variables for measuring customer value, at the first stage, this study adopts hard laddering technique to collect information from fifty purposive samples and conducts content analysis. According to the literature review and those variables found at the first stage, questionnaire for the measurement of customer value has been built at the second stage. This article chooses those customers who buy clothes for their children as our subjects. The results show: 1. By content analysis, the variables to measure the three levels of eight types of customer value have been categorized from qualitative information. 2. Only efficiency and play partially support the hypothesis that first-time customers focus primarily on attribute-level. Ethics confirms the hypothesis that short-term customers emphasize mainly on consequence-level, while excellence and spirituality partially support this hypothesis. Status, esteem and spirituality support the hypothesis that long-term customers focus primarily on goal-level, while efficiency, play and ethics partially confirm this hypothesis. It suggests that there is no one segment of customers could completely receives customer value which he actually needs. 3. Regarding to the analysis of single type of customer value, it shows that customers emphasize on the consequences provided by the attributes and also the goals the consequences reinforce. Furthermore, they seek the goals offered by the attributes when involve in consumption experience. Therefore, the means-end chain of single type of customer value has been constructed. 4. With regard to the analysis of eight types of customer value, it suggests that customers focus on the multiple consequences provided by one attribute or multiple attributes and also the multiple goals the consequences reinforce. Furthermore, they pursue the multiple goals offered by the attributes when involve in consumption experience. Therefore, the means-end chain of eight types of customer value has been built.
