Derived Importance
 
One of the techniques developed by SIS International is a proprietary technique called "Derived Importance." The idea behind this technique is to reflect a consumer's actual purchasing behavior, instead of just a consumer's statements of important criteria for a product that do not reflect his true purchasing behavior.
 
Thus, SIS can analyze consumer attitudes, consumer behavior, or both.
 
Attitude, as measured by stated importance, is a direct reflection of purchase motivation, or what the consumer believes leads him to buy.

Behavior, as measured by derived importance, is an indirect measure of purchase motivation, but is actually what leads the consumer to buy.

The required data encompasses attribute ratings on a wide range of brands within the consideration set. The dependent variable can be purchase intent, brand preference or purchasing behavior on the same brands.
