Notes

 

 

 

New ideas, concepts and models are very difficult to measure. There is no frame of reference.

As product life-cycles are shortening at an immense rate, traditional market research – both quantitative and qualitative – can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help. It is good at measuring the past and present.

 

 

 

Besides, traditional research has the drawback of relying on what consumers say, which is often different from what they actually think and do in real life. People don't know what they will do until they face an actionable decision.

Listen to what highly successful business people say

"If I had asked the public what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse."

~ Henry Ford.

"Learn from noncompetitive industries. Knowing the start of the art or the soon-to-be state of the art in one industry can give you a jump in your chosen field."

~ Tom Kelley

"Carefully watch how people live, get an intuitive sense as to what they might want and then go with it. Don’t do market research."

~ Akio Morita

Entrepreneurial simulation games, such as InnoBall (Innovation Brainball) can help you both create new trends and benefits from new trends created by others. Innompic Games have emerged as a most powerful trend setter.
