Elementos para uma análise do valor

Não estou de acordo com tudo o que se escreve em "The Elements of Value", até porque parece que Maslow está já um pouco desactualizado. No entanto, os 30 elementos de valor da figura parecem-me uma base interessante para um trabalho sobre o que é que um certo segmento de clientes, os clientes-avo, procuram e valorizam:
"When customers evaluate a product or service, they weigh its perceived value against the asking price.
...
What consumers truly value, however, can be difficult to pin down and psychologically complicated.
...
The amount and nature of value in a particular product or service always lie in the eye of the beholder, of course. Yet universal building blocks of value do exist, creating opportunities for companies to improve their performance in current markets or break into new ones. A rigorous model of consumer value allows a company to come up with new combinations of value that its products and services could deliver.
...
We have identified 30 “elements of value”—fundamental attributes in their most essential and discrete forms. These elements fall into four categories: functional, emotional, life changing, and social impact.
...
...
Our first hypothesis was that the companies that performed well on multiple elements of value would have more loyal customers than the rest. The survey confirmed that.
...
Our second hypothesis was that companies doing well on multiple elements would grow revenue at a faster rate than others. Strong performance on multiple elements does indeed correlate closely with higher and sustained revenue growth. Companies that scored high on four or more elements had recent revenue growth four times greater than that of companies with only one high score."
