The TrendWatching Project is your “Real World Ready” component of your Management 464 course and really, the centerpiece of your work in this course. You will be doing a good amount of work on this, and so it’s important to pick a topic that is meaningful, important, and really, above all, interesting to you! This post is to help guide you through that process. Please make your selection of your topic as a comment in response to this post. Please include your name and your specific topic in your comment - as well as which section of the class you are in (11 or 2). Remember, each student in each section must pick a unique topic - and topics are first come, first served! If you have a "burning" interest in a topic already picked by one of your fellow students, please see me as I am sure there is a way to do a "one-off" topic that will meet your desires. What makes for a good topic for your TrendWatching Project? Well, there's a simple guideline: Your topic just needs to be a subject in which you have some degree of personal interest. It needs to be a "big picture" type trend in the macroenvironment - in technology, in the economy, in demographics, in society, in the political/legal environment, etc. - that impacts multiple industries and markets. For suggested topics, please see the list below of a sampling of some of the past project topics successfully done by students:
By no means is this an exhaustive list! Also, new trends are emerging everyday. So, new, different, sorta "on the edge" topics are encouraged! Here are some great resources to help you think of a trend for your own research. I highly encourage you to look-up and read these articles as they are helpful in getting your mind around the idea of spotting and acting proactively on trends:
So, as you make your topic selections, I will be updating the selections for each of our class sections. Good luck!
