Customized Assembly: How Does Effort Influence the Value of To-Be-Assembled Products?

We show that when choices and assembly are an integrated (segregated) process, an increase in the amount of effort during assembly leads to an increase (decrease) in the perceived value of the components used to assemble the product.
