Dissertation / Doktorarbeit, die am 27.03.2006 erfolgreich an einer Internationale Wirtschaftshochschule in Deutschland im Fachbereich Betriebswirtschaft eingereicht wurde. Abstract: In Chapter 2, "Foundations", we provide a description of selected parts of theories which we believe are helpful to better understand the contribution of this thesis. We start with the presentation of several behavioral hypotheses in preference and utility theory. Next, we describe the basics of inferential statistics and Conjoint Analysis. Then, we describe probabilistic entropy, in addition to that a later established version of it, and its axiomatization as a general inference principle. We conclude Chapter 2 by presenting La Mura's decision-theoretic entropy, a version of entropy as an inference technique for expected utilities. La Mura had developed this connection between probabilistic entropy and expected utilities in his Ph.D. thesis. Based on his work, the initial research objective for this dissertation had been to make his approach applicable to the inference of unique consumer utilities given some observed evidence, having in mind the vast amounts of data that nowadays are available to analysts but still not used very effectively, in order to jointly overcome the limitations of Conjoint Analysis as mentioned above. In the following five chapters you will see that our research has instead resulted in a new method, namely Entropy Analysis, which is not based on expected utility functions but on ordinary utility functions. We close Chapter 2 with a conclusion for the following chapters. In Chapter 3, "Entropy Analysis", we derive the new method combining probabilistic cross-entropy and ordinary utility functions. We start by imposing a set of conditions on the inference method. Then, we suggest a normalization of utility functions such that they become formally a probability measure. Finally, we present and prove our main result. In Chapter 4, "Irrational Behavio...

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
