Answer:
the benefits the customer gets from the product.
Explanation:
Deborah's colleafue said he always keeps the customer in mind when thinking about a product. But the argument that the packaging and branding decisions were more known by the firm does not conform with Deborah's perspective because she is looking at the situation more from the benefits the customer will get from the product.
In this perspective all decisions regarding the product must consider how customers will benefit from the product, including branding and packaging.
For example if the packaging of a product is not appealing to customers they will not buy the product. Even when the product is useful to them.
