Part 4 case study

Fast-Food Brand Perceptual Map

A BAV teaching file for reading brand perception, reducing 48 attributes into interpretable factors, and clustering similar fast-food and casual-dining brands.

The first lesson is compression.

The updated file contains 48 brand-attribute percentages. PCA shows how much of that high-dimensional perception space is captured by the first few components; the rotated factor map gives the two-axis view a more readable business interpretation.

The managerial question is positioning.

Which brands are perceived as close competitors, which brands occupy premium or value territory, and how much Brand Asset can be reconstructed from the latent factors.
