However, leading companies are now implementing the fashion branding strategy which stresses both high technology and appealing design. By means of the conjoint analysis, this research focuses on identifying the preferred design profile related to style of the key cover, color and texture of the case, and presence or absence of the noctilucent material coated on the part of surface. We also evaluate the relative importance of factors to determine the design concept of new cellular phone.
