From Publishers Weekly
From "Soccer Moms," the legendary swing voters of the mid-1990s, to "Late-Breaking Gays" such as former Gov. Games McGreevey (out at age 47), Burson-Marsteller CEO (and campaign adviser to Sen. Hillary Clinton) Penn delves into the ever-splintering societal subsets with which Americans are increasingly identifying, and what they mean. For instance, because of "Extreme Commuters," people who travel more than 90 minutes each way to work, carmakers must come up with ever more luxury seat features, and "fast food restaurants are coming out with whole meals that fit in cup holders." In a chapter titled "Archery Moms?", Penn reports on the "Niching of Sports": much to the consternation of Major League Baseball, "we don't like sports less, we just like little sports more." The net result of all this "niching" is "greater individual satisfaction"; as Penn notes, "not one of the fastest-growing sports in America... depends substantially on teamwork." Penn draws similar lessons in areas of business, culture, technology, diet, politics and education (among other areas), reporting on 70 groups ("Impressionable Elites," "Caffeine Crazies," "Neglected Dads," "Unisexuals," "America's Home-Schooled") while remaining energetic and entertaining throughout. Culture buffs, retailers and especially businesspeople for whom "small is the new big" will value this exercise in nano-sociology.

Book Description
"The ideas in his book will help you see the world in a new way." -Bill Clinton
"Mark Penn has a keen mind and a fascinating sense of what makes America tick, and you see it on every page of Microtrends."
-Bill Gates
In 1982, readers discovered Megatrends.
In 2000, The Tipping Point entered the lexicon.
Now, in Microtrends, one of the most respected and sought-after analysts in the world articulates a new way of understanding how we live.
Mark Penn, the man who identified "Soccer Moms" as a crucial constituency in President Clinton's 1996 reelection campaign, is known for his ability to detect relatively small patterns of behavior in our culture-microtrends that are wielding great influence on business, politics, and our personal lives. Only one percent of the public, or three million people, is enough to launch a business or social movement.
Relying on some of the best data available, Penn identifies more than 70 microtrends in religion, leisure, politics, and family life that are changing the way we live. Among them:
People are retiring but continuing to work.
Teens are turning to knitting.
Geeks are becoming the most sociable people around.
Women are driving technology.
Dads are older than ever and spending more time with their kids than in the past.
You have to look at and interpret data to know what's going on, and that conventional wisdom is almost always wrong and outdated. The nation is no longer a melting pot. We are a collection of communities with many individual tastes and lifestyles. Those who recognize these emerging groups will prosper.
Penn shows readers how to identify the microtrends that can transform a business enterprise, tip an election, spark a movement, or change your life. In today's world, small groups can have the biggest impact.
数字可以让人的心灵感到特别放心。我最喜爱的电视连续剧之一,就是哥伦比亚广播公司的《Numb3rs》,其名称的拼写在字母中插入了一个数字。这部电视剧讲的是一位联邦调查局特工和他那具有数学天才的弟弟,借用像培根的数字密码和奈萨克算法的方程式来破案。 马克•J. 佩恩和他...
评分问:比尔·盖茨和比尔·克林顿写的推荐是真的吗? 答:按照现在图书营销的规则,我们应该制作一个大大的腰封,上面的推荐语是“25国元首联合推荐”,因为新闻报道里说“在佩恩的出谋划策下,美国、亚洲、拉美和欧洲先后有25人登上元首宝座”。就是怕碰到这么较真的问题,我又说...
评分不像老一辈,他们都有主流思想,主流生活模式,主流追求。 而现在,社会变得越来越多元,越来越复杂。 你自己的生活模式,或许在这个世界上也只是一个小圈子。 所以,不要用你的理解套在所有人身上。 你不能理解其他圈子的很多人,很多事。 你关注的媒体也不能完全理解。 但...
评分整本书都在用数据说话,不仅分析了美国的“小趋势”,还谈到了欧洲,非洲,和亚洲。都在潜藏着一股小的力量。而这股小的力量也在影响着整个世界格局的变化。 佩恩更像个经验丰富的营销商,从微观的角度出发,进行市场分析和调研,去挖掘未来的商机,这些商机虽然还没有成为主...
评分这书如果用营销的角度看,就是对美国人群的细分。 这种细分不再拘泥于性别、年龄、收入这些大要素,而且用一个个小圈,圈出了总数量达到1%人口,也就是300万数量级的某些细分人群。 比如通勤族、高知黑人女性等等。 当细分人群达到一个数量级,比如书中说的300万,就有了商...
有趣~
评分有趣~
评分枕边读物吧,不如宣传的那么好。国内翻译得不错
评分枕边读物吧,不如宣传的那么好。国内翻译得不错
评分在2010年的尾巴上相遇这本书,瞬间倾倒,奉为book of the year! 今年来越来越耐不住性子读小说,作为一个曾经的理科生,我相信基于统计数据的结论。正如NTY在封皮上的评价unrelentingly fascinating,diligently researched.一个勤奋用数据说话,同时又擅长讲故事的作者谁不喜欢。看完此书产生了看megatrends的冲动,可惜没有找到原版(并非谄媚的China megatrends) 另外如果说准备AW只用一本书,我推荐这本,各种素材太给力了。
