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.

下一个卡尔 ・罗夫,从小趋势中寻求财富
-
- 大约在秋季 最初注意到这本书,是因为两个比尔:比尔•盖茨和比尔•克林顿。究竟是什么样的人,可以让这两个在政坛和财经界举足轻重的人来背书?如今书才读了一半,却已经忍不住想要来说上两句,真的是一本好书啊! 以克林顿总统、希拉里总统竞选的首席策略师而闻名的马克•佩恩,被《经济学人杂志》称为“未来的罗夫”(卡尔•罗夫被誉为布什的大脑)。...... (13回应)2008-09-23 25/27有用来自 中央编译出版社2008版
永远不要低估“小”的力量
-
- Lee(Zer零) 促使我下定决心给这本书写书评的原因,是在我读完书后,猛然意识到,我自己很有可能正不知不觉地身处某一种小趋势中,并且随着与我相近人群的日渐扩大,这个小趋势成为未来主流的概率还相当大。更令我惊奇的是,这种意识一点都不荒唐,身处这个纷繁复杂的社会中的每一个人,都可能如此被某一小趋势裹挟着,都有可能成为将来某一社会变化的主导,...... (13回应)2008-10-28 15/16有用来自 中央编译出版社2008版
为什么小数字中有大力量?
-
- 万俟 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. 佩恩和他的共同作者E.金尼•扎莱纳,在他们的新书《小趋势:决...... (6回应)2008-10-07 14/16有用来自 中央编译出版社2008版
五问答
-
- Viking(你假装正经,我就假装不正经。) 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,我又说不出来是哪25位国家元首,岂不是很丢脸。 问:比尔...... (16回应)2008-09-25 13/17有用来自 中央编译出版社2008版

方法论有多重要
-
- 艾米哩(让记忆永远成为记忆。) 最近总遇到推荐读读《小趋势》(microtrends)的人,似乎有充分的理由不能对这本书置若罔闻;无论新、旧媒体,”趋势”始终是这个行业中高度敏感的主题词之一。而这本书定位于探讨”决定未来大变革的潜藏力量”,光是”未来”,”变革”,”力量”这几个词汇便抢得先声了。再加上作者马克佩恩(Mark J. Penn), 不...... (6回应)2008-12-28 11/12有用来自 中央编译出版社2008版

- 盛世布衣(领悟天下道,凡人亦逍遥) 所谓小趋势,不过是具备某个共同点的特定人群组合而已。依据这些小趋势,佩恩妄图预言将来的某一方面。不知何为豹,岂能窥一斑而见全豹?感觉佩恩的思路着眼过细,作用确是有限。......2009-10-30 来自 中央编译出版社2008版
本书中所说的小趋势也在中国上演

- simpson 标签:趋势 本书中所说的小趋势也在中国上演,我和我的朋友都是其中一些小趋势的代表者。给我的启示就是,在当今以及今后的全球化社会中,一切都在发生着深刻,巨大和持续的变化。关键是要保持开放的心态来面对这一切,决不能自我封闭,思想僵化。 小趋势如同临界系统中落下的砂子的小规模集合.它们暂时不能引发系统崩溃或巨变,但是随......2009-07-26 来自 中央编译出版社2008版

“小趋势”背后的巨大商机
-
- 芝华塔尼欧 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流或者是主导,但他们的存在是潜移默化的,是长远发展的。他分......2009-05-13 来自 中央编译出版社2008版
