Abstract
Consumers choose from a relevant set of brands. Advertising encourages consumers to consider a brand as relevant. Price and other variables influence consumer choice among relevant brands. The authors examine how the explicit consideration of competitive response affects managerial recommendations and explore the interaction between price and advertising decisions. They consider cases in which managers do and in which they do not anticipate competitive actions.Keywords
