This document discusses a study on innovativeness among business librarians. The researchers surveyed business librarians from top business schools to determine where they fall on Rogers' innovation adoption curve. They found most librarians were in the early or late majority categories. The researchers plan to conduct interviews and document analysis to learn more. They discuss how understanding innovativeness can help librarians identify change agents and consider factors like culture that influence trying new technologies. The goal is to start a discussion on defining and diffusing innovations in libraries.
Trends provide insight into consumer desires and help with innovation. They represent manifestations of existing wants or needs. To identify trends, one must consider societal and technological changes, as well as demographics and personal experiences. Trends challenge the status quo and encourage new ideas, while fads are based on short-term interests and don't address deeper needs. The process of identifying trends involves gathering data, analyzing findings, sharing insights, and reevaluating over time.
This document discusses trends in education identified in a 2011 poll and their impact.

This document summarizes the debate around the rise of "femvertising" or female empowerment advertising. It notes that many brands are now featuring empowering messages and portrayals of women in their ads. However, some argue this is just a marketing tactic to appeal to women rather than a genuine commitment to empowerment. The document discusses different views on whether femvertising truly empowers women or is just exploiting female insecurities. It also questions whether brands can sustain empowering messages over time or if they are just high on plot recall but low on building their own brand.
The document discusses understanding how fads are created and spread. It defines fads as short-lived phenomena that gain quick popularity but lack lasting value. Fads spread due to herd behavior and are likened to "mind viruses." Key factors in their creation and proliferation include influencers who connect ideas to many others, individuality within the group, and wide availability without substitutes. The researcher tested these theories by deliberately creating an online fad on Facebook that gained over 7,500 participants, validating their hypothesis.
This document discusses different types of market trends according to time frames. It defines secular, primary, and secondary trends, with secular trends lasting 25+ years and primary 1+ years. Bull and bear markets represent upward and downward trends. Bull markets are characterized by optimism with rising prices, while bear markets feature pessimism and falling prices. The terms "bull" and "bear" are thought to originate from the way the animals attack, with bulls thrusting horns up and bears swiping down, metaphorically representing market movements.

Global Trends 2030 identifies four megatrends that will shape the world by 2030: 1) Individual empowerment will accelerate due to factors like reduced poverty and improved education and healthcare. 2) Power will diffuse away from dominant countries and shift to networks and coalitions in a multipolar world. 3) Demographic patterns like population aging and rapid urbanization will change the world. 4) Demand for food, water, and energy will grow substantially due to population growth, increasing the stress on these critical resources. Six key "game-changers" could influence how these trends unfold, leading to very different potential worlds by 2030.
This document discusses different types of divergences that can occur between price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator. It defines simple, hidden, and multiple divergences and provides "cheat sheets" to identify them. Simple divergences occur when price and RSI make higher highs/lower lows that do not confirm each other. Hidden divergences occur when RSI makes higher highs/lower lows than price. Multiple divergences involve a series of non-confirming highs or lows between price and RSI. The document provides guidelines on when each type of divergence is most reliable based on RSI values and other technical patterns.
