1. ATTRIBUTE MAP TO CLARIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MARKET SEGMENT AND VALUE PROPOSITION 2021/10/26 (C) Prof. Takeru Ohe 4
An attribute map describes your offering in terms of what it does to please, or displease, key customer segments. Based on “The Entrepreneurial Mindset” By Rita Mc. Grath and Ian Mac. Millan Harvard University Press, 2000 2021/10/26 (C) Prof. Takeru Ohe 5
Attribute Map • Attribute Map gives you a start on capturing how well your product or service is appealing to customer's needs at the moment. • An organized way to think through customer’s needs. • Key tool to sharpen business concept: customer segment, value proposition, and solution (resources). • Market Busters, Rita Gunther Mc. Grath & Ian C. Mac. Millan, Harvard Business School Press, 2005 2021/10/26 (C) Dr. Takeru Ohe, 6
Attribute Map to Assess Customer Attitudes • A simple mapping process gives you a start on capturing how well your product or service is appealing to customer's needs at the moment. • Prepare one analysis per segment per product. 2021/10/26 (C) Prof. Takeru Ohe 7
Attribute Map to Assess Customer Attitudes • The first column of the attribute map lists the three basic attitudes that customers may hold about a feature of any product or service: negative, positive or neutral. • Along the top of the figure, we indicate the level of energy generated by the customer’s reaction to the feature, compared with competitors’ offerings. 2021/10/26 (C) Dr. Takeru Ohe, 8

Attribute Map Definition 2021/10/26 (C) Dr. Takeru Ohe, 11
Attribute Map to Assess Customer Attitudes • Prepare one map per segment per product. • A simple mapping process gives you a start on capturing how well your product or service is appealing to customer's needs at the moment. • First column: – three basic attitudes that customers may hold about a feature of any product or service: negative, positive or neutral. • Top line: – the level of energy generated by the customer’s reaction to the feature, compared with competitors’ offerings. 2021/10/26 (C) Dr. Takeru Ohe, 12
Attribute Map • Attribute map simplifies the complexity of your proposition to your customers and your position with respect to competitors. • Attribute map describes your offering in terms of what it does to please, or displease, key customer segments. Along the rows are the reactions of a target customer segment to the features in your product or service. 2021/10/26 (C) Takeru Ohe 13
Positive, Negative, Neutral Rows • The top row shows those features and attributes that customers regard positively; these attributes might prompt them to purchase and stay loyal to your products and services. • The feature in the second row are the negative, these are things that customers dislike and would prefer to do without. • The feature in the third row are attributes about which customers are neutral. They don’t care or don’s know, about these features. 2021/10/26 (C) Takeru Ohe 14
Basic, Discriminating, Energizing Columns • The labels of the columns try to capture how your offering stacks up relative to other ways customers might meet their needs. • If customers judge that a feature is basic, it means that they take it for granted that all compositing products have that feature. • The middle column lists discriminating features- those attributes that cause customers to judge one offering to be superiors or inferior to another. • The third column shows energizing features. These are attributes that, as far as customers are concerned, dominate the decision to buy and use the product or to contract for the service. They typically evoke a powerful emotional response that can overwhelm everything else you do. 2021/10/26 (C) Takeru Ohe 15

Value Propositions (Business Model Canvas) 2021/10/26 (C) Dr. Takeru Ohe, Exciter (Attribute Map) 19
Value Propositions (Exciters) Value Propositions Comments 1. Newness Some value propositions satisfy an entirely new set of needs that customers previously did not perceive because there was no similar offering 2. Performance Improving product or service performance has traditionally been a common way to create value. 3. Customization Tailoring products and services to the specific needs of individual customers or customer segments creates value in recent years, the concepts of mass customization and customer co-creation have gained importance. 4. Design is an important but difficult element to measure. 2021/10/26 (C) Takeru Ohe 20
Value Propositions(Exciters) Value Propositions Comments 5 Brand/status Customers may find value in the simple act of using and displaying a specific brand. Wearing a Rolex or Channel signifies wealth. 6 Price Offering similar value at a lower price is a common way to satisfy the needs of price-sensitive customer segments. 7 Accessibility Making products and services available to customers who previously lacked access to them is another way to create value. 8 Convenience/us ability Making things more convenient or easier to use can create substantial value. 2021/10/26 (C) Takeru Ohe 21
Value Propositions(Exciters) Value Propositions Comments 9 Getting the job done Value can be created simply by helping a customer get certain jobs done. 10 Cost reduction Helping customers reduce costs is an important way to create value. 11 Risk reduction Customers value reducing the risks they incur when purchasing products or services. For a used car buyer a one-year service guarantee reduces the risk of post purchasing breakdowns and repairs. 2021/10/26 (C) Takeru Ohe 22
Transform What You Sell in a Meaningful Way • Premise: Every offering you sell has some things customers like, some things they don’t and some things they simply don’t care about – The strategy: change your products and services to create meaningful differentiation from a customers’ point of view – Capitalize on the fact that different segments will make different tradeoffs 2021/10/26 (C) Dr. Takeru Ohe, 23
