Springer Series in Design and Innovation, 2019

The potential of trends management is originated in the ability to understand the changes in human behavior and to translate this knowledge in guidelines that can bring innovation. The qualitative approach considers the society composed of individuals and groups, who share meanings according to collective expectations and perspectives. Based on these precepts, the researcher in the field of trends investigates processes, facts and situations in the social scene that, interconnected, may explain the analyzed phenomenon. Through literature review and theoretical problematization, the concepts and approaches referenced in qualitative research and trends management are discussed, evidencing the methodology and guiding assumptions of transformations in the patterns of human behavior.

The trend of our species has been downward, toward extinction; this essay tries to understand that trend.

The present yearbook (which is the fourth in the series) is subtitled Trends & Cycles. It is devoted to cyclical and trend dynamics in society and nature; special attention is paid to economic and demographic aspects, in particular to the mathematical modeling of the Malthusian and post-Malthusian traps' dynamics. An increasingly important role is played by new directions in historical research that study long-term dynamic processes and quantitative changes. This kind of history can hardly develop without the application of mathematical methods. There is a tendency to study history as a system of various processes, within which one can detect waves and cycles of different lengths – from a few years to several centuries, or even millennia. The contributions to this yearbook present a qualitative and quantitative analysis of global historical, political, economic and demographic processes, as well as their mathematical models. This issue of the yearbook consists of three main sections: (I) Long-Term Trends in Nature and Society; (II) Cyclical Processes in Pre-industrial Societies; (III) Contemporary History and Processes. We hope that this issue of the yearbook will be interesting and useful both for historians and mathematicians, as well as for all those dealing with various social and natural sciences.

The development of increased and accessible computing power has been a major agent in the current emphasis placed upon the presentation of data in graphical form as a means of informing or persuading. However research in Science and Mathematics Education has shown that skills in the interpretation and production of graphs are relatively difficult for Secondary school pupils. In this paper we explore the conjecture that the use of computers in education has the potential to revolutionise the ways in which children learn graphing skills. We describe research with 8 and 9 year olds using on a pedagogic strategy which we call Active Graphing, in which spreadsheets are use to collect and present data from practical experiments, and present results which indicate that children gain higher levels of interpretative skills, particuarly in terms of the use of trend, through this approach than would be expected in traditional classrooms.

The purpose of articulating these two texts is to establish connections between the basic definitions of Trend Studies and Cultural Studies. Two fields of research with both humanistic and scientific foundations. This link should help build a new perspective for the study of trends provided they work on humanistic perspective that can be intertwined with a business side of culture. Martin Raymond (2010) is currently one of the key thinkers for Trend Studies and brings with this book a non-academic perspective in an effort to integrate knowledge into business. On the other side, Chris Barker (2008) sets a group of relevant definitions and considerations around Cultural Studies that help us create a framework for it. Both texts are somehow introductory and descriptive and open the opportunity to establish relations between concepts.

This text, an integral fragment of the ongoing master's research, has as main theme the theoretical-conceptual approach between trends and visual management, aiming to qualify the trend analysis method proposed by Dragt (2017) from principles and tools of visual management . In methodological terms, the article is designed in the moments of conceptualizing important terms through the Bibliographic Review, as well as the collection, reduction, categorization and interpretation of data via Qualitative Data Analysis. Furthermore, the text is classified as being of a basic, qualitative nature and with descriptive objectives. The results achieved demonstrate that the principles and tools of visual management add different advantages to the process, such as innovation, agility and encouraging the collaboration of the participants of those involved in the analysis of trends.

ModaPalavra , 2018

The present paper intends to discuss the development and consolidation process of Trend Studies, as a transversal area with transdisciplinary characteristics that was developed in connection with the concepts and practices of areas such as Cultural Studies. The numerous perspectives of Trend Studies and their different associations promoted a dispersed development that should be considered and deconstructed by means of finding common points and practices, or different perspectives, to generate a greater cohesion of concepts and methodologies. In this sense, it is important to present a model for the purpose of systematic identification and observation of trends. The result can generate a parallel process of cultural analysis capable of contributing to a basis for the generation of strategic solutions for institutional and social problems, in a new approach to culture management.

The focus of this work, ongoing Postdoctoral research consequence, is to ascertain the importance of qualitative research in an institution focused on the study and on the trends application within the understanding context of why and how they manifest themselves. The Trends Studies should be seen, in this sense, as a process that tries to sustain a constant dialogue with the consumer, guiding the designers in the design of fashion products in line with the wishes and needs of the market. Therefore, it is defined as a cross-sectional analysis of society aiming at identifying opportunities for strategic development and connecting them with the future needs of the consumer, in order to achieve the innovation process of products and services. The qualitative approach considers society composed of individuals and groups who share meanings according to expectations and collective perspectives. From this methodological design, the researcher investigates processes, facts and situations in the social scene which, interconnected, can explain the phenomenon analyzed. In summary, it is believed that the qualitative research, aiming at prospecting trends, will contribute positively and provide a critical view of students and fashion professionals in relation to the phenomenon of trends and fashion system while linked to each other.

TRENDS, NETWORKS, AND CRITICAL THINKING IN THE 21ST CENTURY

An encounter with Reason and Technology

The course provides opportunities for students to discover patterns and extract meanings from emerging trends. It aids in developing their critical and creative thinking skills— essential tools for decision making and understanding “ethics of care”. Global trends in the 21st century are examined and are either accepted or rejected on a sound set of criteria. Students will be asked to create and analyze scenarios that will challenge them to (1) formulate their stances on issues or concerns; (2) propose interventions and; (3) formulate alternative futures. The students will realize the interconnections between their neural connections and social realities.

MELCS 1: Differentiate a trend from a fad

In this competency, we have explored first the our understanding of Trends and Fads and gave some examples. Then we distinguished the two.

The rising of a new lifestyle, beliefs, economics, and a social life that last for a long period of time.

Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/trend

Millennials are also known as Generation Z or Y. The 21st century has developed trends/fads in the use of words or expressions.

Below are some examples:

They are objects, behaviors, and lifestyles that achieved popularity but instantly fade away. They last for a short period of time. Source: Best, Joel (2006). Flavor of the Month: Why Smart People Fall for Fads . University of California Press.

Based on our learnings, a fad is an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived and without basis in the object's qualities, while a trend is a general direction in which something is developing or changing.

" We play with fads, we work with trends"

Trendsetter

A person who leads or starts a trend.

A person who foretells the future trend.

Trendspotting

It refers to a study of trends that affect society.

Trend Analysis

It is based on trendspotting but it extends this into developing future scenario and so they say that to follow a trend, one must not only a trend, one must not only be conscious of what is currently happening but be wise enough to predict the future. (Urgel,2017)

A small or specific trend that lasts between 3 to 5 years.

A large-scale trend that lasts between 5 to 10 years.

A major trend that has a large-scale effect in society. A driving forces of today and tomorrow that defines the world.

Affects most area of human life and usually identified to define an era.

Remember that microtrends can become macrotrends if they affect more lives and societies. Then, macrotrends can become a megatrend if it can affect a much larger group for a longer period like a decade. Megatrends can become gigatrends if they have everlasting effects and influences. Therefore, it is evident that the whole which comprises the larger part is made up of small things or parts.

Set of interconnected nodes that are open structures and are able to expand without limits as long as they can communicate within the network.

"If you wan t to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others ".

Intuitive Thinking

I s a phenomenon of the mind that is define d as the ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason.

Local and Global Networks

Global networks tap from the local networks to operate. On the other hand, the values of the local networks are determined by their connection to the g lobal networks of value making, financial, managerial function, or otherwise.[TNCT book by: RMA, Basas]

Globalization

All those process by which the peoples of the world are incorporated into a single world society (Martin Albrow and Elizabeth King). Globalization is the word used to describe the growing interdependence of the world’s economies, cultures, and populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and information(PIIE).

Climate Change

Changes of the usual climate of the earth which is mostly caused by abusive activities of human. Sustainability is the result of unbalanced weather of the earth, with leads to a threat to the ecosystem. Aside from the ecosystem, the instability of the global economy and humankind is also under threat because of climate change.

21st-Century Democracy: Building a Transnational Innovation Ecosystem

​​“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

People and countries alike are impacted by what happens within and outside of their borders. As such, we need local, national, and transnational solutions for defending, strengthening, and reimagining democracy.

While foes of democracy have developed sophisticated and innovative  strategies leveraging cross-contextual connections , pro-democracy actors and movements have remained largely siloed by national borders.

This  Keseb -sponsored essay series, authored by leading democracy champions from Brazil, South Africa, and the United States, discusses effective nonpartisan pro-democracy strategies by:

1. Illustrating how democracy entrepreneurship is driving innovative local and national solutions using examples from the authors’ home countries; and

2. Providing transnational insights to facilitate cross-border learning, innovation sharing, and solidarity-building among democracy champions.

Our aspiration is that these five essays will inform, challenge, and expand our imaginative capacities to innovate for 21st-century democracy—within and across our borders.

Throughout the month of October, Keseb is hosting a four-part virtual conversation series featuring the authors of this essay series along with other leading democracy champions.  Register here .
