    Study Notes

    • This study guide covers Quarter 3, Modules 1-8

    • It is about differentiating trends from fads, and the process of identifying trends

    • Trends are long-term patterns of gradual change, while fads are short-lived, popular trends

    • Examples of trends include mobile apps, in-line skating, organic food, and social media. Examples of fads include hula hoops, Rubik's cubes, and Cabbage Patch Kids.

    • Trend Analysis, is the process of collecting information to identify patterns

    • Trend Spotting is identifying new trends and projecting the future, Trend Spotters are people who notices and reports on new fashions, ideas, or activities.

    • Fad traits include a short lifespan, popularity for a brief time, often triggered by novelty, and fading quickly.

    • Characteristics of a fad: confined to a segment of society, short lifespan, and revived from previous trends.

    • Trends have longer staying power, are accepted by many, and are rooted in a culture

    • Difficulties in trend identification: hasty/superficial analysis, narrow focus, and scattered data.

    • There are various categories, with three key components to recognize emerging patterns: apply disruption theory; analyze if the product/service is different; and assess how newness relates to the existing market.

    • Performance: How well does the product perform in relation to customer expectations?

    • Customer community: How does the user or customer community interact with and use the new product or service?

    • Aesthetics: This refers to how timeless the design of the product or service experience may be.

    • Ground-breaking: Does the product cause a total revolution or a simple evolution?

    • Market category: Does the trend, product or service create a new market category?

    • Key factors in evaluating trends: duration, industry acceptance, and consumer adoption/perception of quality.

    • Factors influencing trend duration: differentiation, superiority, and newness.

    • Analyzing trends involves identifying parts, determining patterns, and understanding causes and consequences.

    • Parts-to-Whole Thinking: Identifying and explaining the emerging patterns, causes, and consequences.

    • Causes and consequences are important in understanding why historical events occurred.

    • Short-term causes happened in recent before the event

    • Long-term causes existed in the years, decades, or centuries before the event

    • Important steps for identifying trends: understand its parts, relationship between parts, analyzing emerging patterns from different sources, recognizing causes, and identifying consequences.

    • Processes for analyzing causes and consequences of historical events: analyzing events' motives, noting the event's results, evaluating impacts on people, society, and the world, recognizing effects of events on other events as well.

    • Defining emerging patterns.
