Conglomerate Inc.'s New PDA Case (Segmentation-Targeting)
Results and Findings
Run Segmentation from the Segmentation and Classification tool in ME>XL (without Discrimination) on the date to try to identify the number of distinct segments present in this market. Consider both the distances separating the segments and the characteristics of the resulting segments.
After running the Segmentation analysis with standardized data from the Segmentation and Classification tool, it is clear that there are four distinct segments present in this market after taking the Error Sum of Squares (ESS) into consideration (see Dendogram in Exhibit 1 below).

Lastly, Cluster 4 would be broken down into the Consulting Innovators.
