Abstract

We consider a firm offering two component products to a market with taste heterogeneity. The firm, who must determine the degree to which the products are differentiated, is uncertain a priori about the customer base valuation for each product. The uncertain valuations are characterized by means of two random variables with a correlation dependent on product differentiation. We explore the conditions under which it is advantageous to introduce the products sequentially instead of simultaneously.
