TNCT QUARTER 1- FIRST SEMESTER

MODULE 1 Trends VS Fad LESSON 4 Characteristic of a Trend

LESSON 1 Differentiating Trend and Fad
Trend
Have explainable rises and are driven by functional
needs. Tend to rise in popularity more slowly. Influenced
for long period of time. Accepted by wide audience.
Fad
Popularity spike quickly and they ended up dying out just
as quickly. Affect only a group of people. Quick and
short lived
LESSON 2 Spotting Trend
To spot a trend is to predict what will accelerate.
1. Fringe Stage
Innovation ideas comes whether in the form of a
new product, service or in other form. Develops
into the market or become known to most
people r customers
2. Trendy
Consumer and public awareness of the trend
grows as the early adopters participate together
with the innovators to increase he perceptibility
of the trend is very evident in this stage.
3. Mainstream
Conservative consumers join the trend during
this stage. The idea’s popularity and acceptance
continue to increase, and the corporations and
company brands exploit the growing demand for
the idea.
1. Duration of Time
Products or ideas considered as trend may stay
for many years even decade or more.
2. Acceptability
They receive popular support from customers or
consumers especially companies who believes
that creating more it will give them more profit.
3. Cultural Basis
Trend persists and continues beacause people
have seen it as part of their society or lives.
4. Transitory Increase
Trend also has the potential to eventually slow
down or decline but will never fade away or less
it shall fall as fad.
LESSON 5 identifying Parts of a Whole
Within objects and ideas there exists a special
relationship between the parts and the whole that makes
the whole object what is is, that permits it to function the
way it does. You really need to understand its parts
and their relationship to the whole.
LESSON 6 Emerging Pattern
Pattern is a series of data that repeats in a recodnizable
way. Patterns can occur within a downward or upward
trend, or hey can mark the beginning of a new trend. In
one way or another we call tell that an emerging
pattern in trend will most likely be associated to
what human thinks they need.
LESSON 7 Identifying Causes and Consequences

LESSON 3 Elements that make up a Trend

1. Basic Needs
Ultimately rooted in ouy basic, fundamental.
rarely-if-ever-changing human needs, wans and
desires.
2. Drivers of Change
No trends without change.
Shift – long term, macro changes that play
across years or even decades
Triggers – more immediate canges that drive
the emergence of trend
3. Innovation
Not trends without examples of costumer-facing
innovations tapping into it, a trend can’t be said
to exist fully. You cannot describe the rise of the
‘on-demand economy’ without the existence and
rapid growth of services.
MODULE 2 Strategic Analysis and
Inituitive Thingking
LESSON 1 Differentiating Strategic Analysis and
Inituitive Thinking
Strategic Analysis
 Process that involves researching an
organization’s business and operations.
Extremely analytical and rational.
Strategic Thinking
 Uses analytical thinking to create solutions
to problems
Analytical thinking is simply act of breaking down
data into useful information.
Intuitive Thinking
 Feeling that does not use rational processes
such as facts and data.
 Is more of an instinct or immediate action.
SWOT Analysis strategic planning method used to
evaluate the strength, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats involved in a project or in a business venture.
PEST Analysis (Political, Economic, Social and
Technological) as a strategic planning method examines
he effects of relevant external factors or the
macroenvironmental factors, on what is being decided
on.
CBA (Cost-Benefit-Analysis) as a strategic planning
method is a process of calculating the strengths
(benefits or advantages) and weaknesses (cost or
disadvantage) of each of the alternative solutions to a
given problem in monetary values.
CEA (Cost-Effectiveness Analysis) as a strategic
planning method is used for weighing the strengths and
weaknesses of the alternatives in the given problem.
SEU Analysis (Subjective Expected Utility) as a
strategic planning method which examines a Decision
Theory, the discipline that provides a rational framework
for choosing between alternative courses of acion when
the consequences resulting from the choice are
imperfectly known.
LESSON 2 Applying Strategic Analysis
LESSON 3 Intituive Thinking in Solving a Problem
MODULE 3 Understanding Globalization
LESSON 1 Effects of Globalization
Individual Effects
 Standard of Living is the level of wealth,
comfort, material goods and necessities
available to a certain socio-economic class in a
certain geographic area.
 Quality of Life is the degree to which a person
enjoys the important possibilities of his or her
life.
Possitive Effect: For many developing nations,
globalization has led to an improvement in standard of
living through improved roads and transportation, health
care and education due to the global expansion of
corporations.
Negative Effect: For those who live in developed
nations, due to the fact that corporations now have the
option of establishing manufacturing operations
innations where manufacturing and production costs are
less expensive.
Corporate Effects
 Product Life Cycle is the period of time over
which an item is developed, brought to market
and eventually removed from the world market.
LESSON 2 Interconnected through Collaboration and
Cooperation
Interconnectedness
State of being connected with each other.
Cooperation
Process of working together to the same end.
Collaboration
Action of working with someone to produce or create
something.
LESSON 3 Contribution of the Parts to whole
LESSON 4 Originated from where I came
MODULE 4 Consequences of Action to
Planetary Climate Change
LESSON 1 Consumption and Production: Effects on
Climate Change
On Consumption
Climate change is altering production systems and
compromising food security and nutrition for millions of
people in the Philippines, according to the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO).
The more mouth to feed, the more food resources are
needed from the environment. The bigger the
population, the bigger also is the damage we could give
to the environment. Moreover, wasting food must now
come to an end and must not be practiced.
On Production
Clearly, we could tell that production of certain goods
and services does clearly affect the environment which
results and contributes to global climate change.
At its core, production and consumption contributes to
climate change and today, climate change has also
brought about problems to production and
consumption. Understanding the problem is the only
way to find the solution.
LESSON 2 We Can Help Solve Climate Change
Here are Simple Things We Can Do to Help Protect the
Earth according to the National Ocean Service of the US
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle + Refuse. MAKE A
COMMERCIAL
Reduce – if possible, we must stop buying for items with
so much plastic packing. Reuse – cut down on what we
throw away, we might probably be able to still use it.
Recycle – plastics can also serve as nursery pots rather
than just throwing it and adding piles for our
community landfill space. Above all, practice the bigger
“R” – REFUSE. If we can bring with us containers for
food items, we probably can stop production of plastic
waste.
Volunteer. INTERVIEW
We can spare our time to volunteer for coastal clean-up
and other clean-ups in our respective community. We
also all can volunteer to get involved in protecting our
watershed by tree planting.
Educate.
When we further our own education, we can help
others understand the importance and value of our
natural resources. We also can attend symposia and
information drives on environmental protection.
Conserve water.
The less water we use, the less runoff and wastewater
that would eventually end up in the ocean. Waters from
doing laundry can also be used in cleaning our comfort
rooms than just throwing it.
Choose sustainable.
Learn how to make smart food choices. Eating leafy
vegetables are far better than meat. Why? We will just
perhaps hurt horse radish (malunggay) tree for a plain
native soup, but we must kill a chicken in order to have
a fried chicken for breakfast.
Shop wisely. MAKE A COMMERCIAL
Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
Choose to buy items which uses less plastic. Use long-
lasting light bulbs.
Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. Stop using the old light bulbs for it costly on
electrical consumption. Rather use LED bulbs. Also flip
the light switch off when you leave the room!
Plant trees. INTERVIEW
Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy,
clean the air, and help combat climate change. During
high noon, many would want to stay under the shade of
a tree, but nobody cares to plant a tree.
Don’t send chemicals into our waterways.
Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.
Throw waste properly. Battery acids should be thrown
anywhere.
Bike more. INTERVIEW
Drive less. Pollution comes in the moment we start the
engine of our motorcycles and automobiles. Biking or
walking helps the environment and it even makes us
healthier.
