This document proposes a decision support system to help with data-driven management. It involves both an offline and online system. The offline system determines the best algorithms for dimension reduction, clustering, and classification using market and product data. The online system then applies these algorithms to segment markets and position products. A case study on automobile data with 639 models and 31 properties evaluates different dimension reduction, clustering, and classification techniques. Support vector machines achieved the highest classification accuracy on average. The proposed system provides a blueprint for objectively analyzing data to support management decisions.
