 Identifying Emerging
Patterns
Pattern defined as a design, shape, form
or configuration that emerges from
repetitious appearance of lines, curves, and
behavior.
According to Urgel (2017), in the study
of trends, repetitive behavior that gives rise
to an emerging pattern is the main interest.
 
In order to follow and observe if a pattern emerges out of
various events and phenomena, one should have the tools
necessary to detect it. According to Rehn and Lindkvist
(2013), the tools that a trend spotter should find handy to
use are categorized into four activities which are as
follows:
