ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method for merging product marketing control, and product inventory control, based on funds availability and funds allocation from the finance division. The computer-implemented method generates a segment-level consumer choice model for a plurality of competing brands, and aggregates that to a market-level consumer choice model. For each of a plurality of feasible marketing strategies, a brand-level demand is estimated, based on the consumer choice models. Based on a predetermined cost for each of the feasible marketing strategies, and on estimated revenues and estimated costs resulting from the corresponding estimated demand, a maximum profit yielding feasible strategy is determined.
