TrendWatching Projects: Management 464 - 2:00 - Spring 2018 Semester

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 (if you are logged-in to your Google Account, your name will show - otherwise, do please type it in after stating your topic). Remember, each student 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.

As for what makes for a good topic, 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 following overview article, along with lists of past project topics successfully done by students in the last semester this project was done, Spring 2017:
