segmentation
Segmentation is a process of dividing a large group or entity into smaller parts or segments based on certain characteristics, behaviors or criteria. This term is often used in the context of market segmentation in business, where companies divide their target market into groups based on factors like age, gender, income, lifestyle, etc., allowing them to tailor their products, services or marketing strategies to cater to the specific needs and preferences of each segment, thus improving efficiency and effectiveness. However, the concept can also be applied in other fields such as biology, data analysis, image processing, etc.
Webster Dictionary
