Discrete Choice Methodology for Line Optimization by Anne Coulter (RSG) – Canada
(Choice-based conjoint is a powerful, sophisticated methodology to use for line optimization objectives. We accomplish these objectives by measuring respondent willingness to trade-off products against each other.

Delivered and Perceived Quality : how to work them in synergy? by Fernand Wiesenfeld (MV2 Group) – France
(Customer satisfaction measurements and mystery shopping feedback are, most of the time, either not used simultaneously, or only used in parallel.

“Pentascopio®” — An interpretative model of Brand Personality by Cristiana Valenti (MPS) – Italy
(Going beyond brand image, brand personality is the personification of a brand. It embodies human personality traits that make the brand experienced as different and unique. It is the result of all the consumer’s experiences with the brand. Based on the theory of the “Big Five”, “Pentascopio¨” detects such personality and how it develops in an ever growing competitive environment, to help a brand gain or keep a unique positioning on the market.)

Combination of classic qualitative research and the latest research technology by Balázs Kertész (Szinapszis) – Hungary
(Latest technology integrated in classical research is always sexy and attractive. But does it help us generating new insights, new data or help us finding a deeper understanding? From a multitude of possibilities allowed by the use of eye trackers we highlight a case study when an eye tracking module was integrated in a traditional focus group research.)

Harnessing the Non-Conscious Mind to Provide New Insights by Tim McPartlin (Lieberman) – United States
(This paper will describe several new techniques and tools that seek to exploit these new scientific findings; but in ways that have practical application to marketing research. These techniques are designed to help tap into the non-conscious minds of respondents to obtain reactions and evaluations that are more emotional and perhaps more valid and predictive. They include implicit techniques, emotional coding of facial reactions to stimuli and more emotionally loaded types of scales.)
