- In this assignment, students will identify a minimum of four trends that will come into focus within the next five years.
- Identifying trends, you can use PEST (political, economic, social, and technological factors) or DEFB (drivers, enablers, frictions, and blockers). With PEST, you can discuss the political factors that are driving a specific trend. For example, the government had provided a tax break for individuals driving a hybrid or electric cars. Therefore, we can forecast an increase in consumer demand for hybrid or electric cars.

- List of counter-trends (if applicable), with references
- Implications for related industries
