What is Trends?
A trend is a general direction into which something is changing, developing, or
veering toward. The term may also mean a fashion or craze, i.e., a fad. The verb ‘to
trend’ means to develop or change in a general direction. In the world of social
media, if something trends it is the topic of many posts.

In the world of business, a trend is a pattern of gradual change in a process, output,

or condition. It is an average or general tendency. If I say: “There has been a trend
towards shorter-term mortgages,” it means more people are now taking shorter-term
mortgages. In other words, there has been a tendency towards shorter-term
mortgages

IV. Procedure A. Reading

Trend is a “recurrent phenomenon that takes place over time and gives rise to
speculation on the future”

Trend analysis is “ an examination of these phenomena and speculation on

the likely impact they will have in the future.”

Many studies have been conducted to surface trends and describe their
probable impact on organization.

Few studies have examined the likely impact of such trends on the
workplace learning process or on the workplace learner.

Trends are a collage of present circumstances that extend current patterns

into the future. Trend analysis grant societies “ future version” allowing
population to be proactive in response to future events. Include in a
definition of a trend are three commonalities that trends share.

1. Trends are a complex synthesis of information from a wide variety of

fields.
2. Trends all use pattern identification and recognition to make predictions
when talking about the future.
3. Trends use time frames to evaluate their evolution.

Strategic Thinking and Intuitive Thinking Defined

Greg Githens defined strategic thinking as the individual’s capacity for thinking
conceptually, imaginatively, systematically, and opportunistically with regard to the
attainment of success in the future.

He continued by saying that strategic thinking employs mental processes that are
conceptual (abstractions using analogy to translate across contexts), systematic
(composed of different components with interfaces that interact to produce intended
or emergent behaviors, pattern finding, and connecting situations that are not
obviously related), imaginative 9crative and visual), and opportunistic (searching for
and grasping new information and value propositions). The strategic thinker applies
all of these cognitive processes in the orientation toward future success.

Intuitive thinking is “quick and ready insight” (Webster’s New Collegiate

Dictionary). Intuitive decision-making is far more than using common sense because
it involves additional sensors to perceive and get aware of the information from
outside. Sometimes, it is referred to as gut feeling, sixth sense, inner sense, instinct,
inner voice, spiritual guide, etc.
Exercise 1:
Directions: List down the things you do everyday which you think are a result of
intuitive thinking or rational thinking.

4. _______________ creative and visual.
5. _______________ searching for and grasping new information and value
propositions.
6. ______________ is quick and ready insight.

Exercise 3:
The question is not whether rational reasoning or intuitive decision-making is

MIGRANTE International: International Alliance of Filipino Migrant

Organizations The migration of Filipinos abroad is a product of extreme poverty

and joblessness in the country that is brought about the decrepit social system
perpetuated by US neocolonialism. The deepening economic crisis in the
Philippines has simultaneously aggravated the migration of Filipinos abroad to
gargantuan proportion. More than 2,000 migrant Filipinos leave the country
each day and approximately one-third of these are composed of unskilled
workers. They can be found in 182 countries worldwide. Filipinos are driven
abroad since the government cannot provide them work. This is not surprising
since the Philippine economy is backward, agrarian, and without basic
industries. Hence, it cannot generate enough employment for Filipinos. Millions
of workers are being thrown out of their regular jobs as foreign and domestic
capitalists report to contractualization and downsizing so as to maintain and
generate more profits. Thus, Filipino. Indeed, is a rich source of cheap labor by
develop countries. Migrant Filipinos contribute a lot to the economy through
their remittances. From 1990 to 1995, remittances of migrant Filipinos were
registered at US＄6.9 billion. The government recognizes this contribution. In
fact, they are hailed as “new economic heroes”. Migrant Filipinos are an
exploited lot. The Philippines government extracts exorbitant fees from them
as requisite to their deployment abroad. Government rakes in millions daily in
the processing of their papers alone. These include payments for passports, NBI
and medical clearances, administrative fees, forced contributions and a litany
of other expenses. The abuses and exploitation they experience in tier place of
work are prevalent. These range from contract violations, rape, sexual
harassment, mysterious death, among others. Yearly, hundreds of thousands of
Filipinos are reported to have suffered various form of abuse and exploitation
in the hands of their employers. Women migrant workers in particulars are
most vulnerable to abuses and maltreatment. They are subjected to sexual and
physical abuse as in the case of domestic helpers, while many become victims
of white slavery. Nothing can pronounce the exploitation and abuses
committed against migrant Filipinos than those inflicted Filipino people and the
international community on the hapless plight of migrant Filipinos. The anguish
and ordeal of migrant Filipinos continued organizing, education and
mobilization work among their ranks in their struggle for their rights and
welfare, and for genuine freedom and democracy.

THE PHILIPPINES DIGITAL BOOM

Will Greene

Booming digital markets in the Philippines create unprecedented opportunities

for investors and companies of all sizes in 2014, according to perfect Digital
Storm: Philippines, a new report by Tiger cub Digital. The report, which I co-
authored, provides extensive detail about the country’s fast growing digital,
social, and mobile markets. It also includes recommendations on how to
capitalize on key trends before the opportunities close. The full report is
intended primarily for industry stakeholders that require the most
comprehensive, current, and reliable data, as well as actionable insights on
how to use it. For those who are only interested in the big picture, this article
will share five of the report’s key takeaways.
1. internet access is on the rise--but still has limited reach.
Between 2008 and 2012, internet access in the Philippines
grew by over 500%, the fastest rate in all of Southeast Asia.
Over this time frame, millions of people gained access to the
internet for the first time, while millions of others gained more
consistent and better-quality access than ever before. Despite
major improvements in the country’s digital infrastructure
however, Internet penetration hovered at only 36% in 2012,
and service quality remains inconsistent the country. Growing
internet access in the Philippines posers’ opportunities and
challenges for many kinds of companies. The opportunity is
that brands have an increasingly fertile channel for connecting
with consumers, while entirely new markets are opening in a
range of internet sectors, including online retail, gaming, photo
sharing, cloud services, music and more. Companies that get in
early will have a fast start on competitors and capture
mindshare before the market gets cluttered with options, but
they will also have to face up to the challenge of operating in
immature marks that might not be ready for what they have to
offer.

2. Mobile penetration now exceeds 100%-- but smartphone

penetration remains low. Mobile penetration, defined as the
 ratio of mobile subscriptions to people in the country, topped
100% for the first time in 2012, representing strong in the
mobile category. Yet smartphone penetration, at 15% in 2013,
remains low for Southeast Asia, and users tend to be less active
on their devices than in the region’s more developed countries.
On average, Filipinos spend less time on their smartphones
each day than Indonesians, Thais, and Malaysians. They also
use tablets less, though tablet penetration is growing, too.

As with internet access, low Smartphone penetration presents

opportunities and challenges to mobile companies. Since the
vast majority of devices in use by Filipinos are basic phones,
the market for mobile apps and many services remains
immature, limiting business, opportunities in the short term.
On the plus side, however, the Philippines has some of the
highest rates of smartphones sales growth in Southeast, so it is
only a matter of time before market demand emerges for
smartphones- oriented services.

3. Social media usage rates are off the charts-but this does not
guarantee conversions. No matter how you cut it, the
Philippines has some of the world’s highest social media
engagement rates across nearly all platforms. Ninety- six
percent of Filipino netizens use social media, which accounts
for whopping 42% of total screen time in the country, more
than any other country in Southeast Asia. Facebook and Twitter
penetration are among the highest in the world. Instagram and
Interest are also widely popular.

These statistics can and should be exciting to companies, but as

most digital marketers know, high social media engagement
does not always translate into sales or meaningful branding
opportunities. Any successful social media campaigns will
require a detailed understanding the nuances of Filipino
culture, which shares some similarities with other emerging
markets but also has contours that are unique in the region---
and the world.

4. . Filipinos are brand-friendly and ready to buy--but this will not

last long. The Philippines has some of the highest levels of
brand openness and engagement in the world. In the fourth
quarter of 2013, the country led Southeast Asia in online brand
engagement across a range of metrics, from social networks to
blogs and online forums. Mobile users in the Philippines are
more likely to click on mobile ads than in any other Southeast
Asian country, even though they are less likely to see them.
High levels of brand openness and engagement present amazing
branding opportunities for companies of all types, but the window
of opportunity is likely to last long. Although this is not a hard-and-
fast rule, countries tend to grow less brand- friendly as they grow
more developed. As Filipino gain greater experience with digital
 technologies, the novelty of online advertising will wear off and
many consumers will grow jaded to marketing initiatives. For many
brands, the time to act is now.
