"The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life," writes Malcolm Gladwell, "is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do." Although anyone familiar with the theory of memetics will recognize this concept, Gladwell's The Tipping Point has quite a few interesting twists on the subject.
For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a "Connector": he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere "wasn't just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston," he was also a "Maven" who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenomenon continues to this day--think of how often you've received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you.
Gladwell develops these and other concepts (such as the "stickiness" of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal) through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes, such as comparing the pedagogical methods of Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger. Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly, and Gladwell's closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy, even chilling, The Tipping Point is one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages. It seems inevitable that "tipping point," like "future shock" or "chaos theory," will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows--or at least knows by name. --Ron Hogan, Amazon.com
Malcolm Gladwell is a former business and science writer at the Washington Post. He is currently a staff writer for The New Yorker.
對一個做營銷的人來說挺有應用意義的。感覺書前半部分寫得不錯,後半部分就是把前半部分講的東西顛過來倒過齣重復講。。。
評分十多年前的商務銷售理論指南,其中一些原理還是有用的,但不得不說今日網絡的飛速發展已經帶來瞭巨大的不同和挑戰。
評分其實我對這種書不是太有好感= =
評分前麵很贊,後麵有點雞肋
評分Formulaic writing and not so sound arguments.
《引爆流行》中的“个别人物法则”、“附着力因素法则”、“环境威力法则”很好地解释了流行潮发生的原因。 我尝试着用这三个法则分析了一下“超女”的流行: 个别人物法则:通过组织“超女”们的fans,使“超女”成为联系员。 附着力因素法则(事物传递的信息):用PK、女...
評分这本书的作者格拉德威尔提出一个论点,我们能不能人为的让一件产品,一件事情或者一种观念迅速的流行起来。 要制造流行,首先要了解什么是流行。流行有3个属性特征(Page:xxv),我个人用“流行感冒”来进行映照理解。 特征1,传染性。很容易在人与人之间引起传播。 特...
評分 評分理论论叙太多,看不到亮点。 本书只能做为已发生的现象分析,没有从中学到,到底要做什么事才有可能会引爆流行。 中文译本翻译错误还是有蛮多。 个人觉得本书如果叫《群体效应》可能会更贴主题。
評分过去读过一次,觉得还好而已。有一些不错的点子,不过毕竟这么老的书了。。。。看完后推荐Dan and Chip heath的switch和Made to stick,有更深层次的讨论和更详细的例子。 ============================================== 传播的媒介(人): super connect...
