Trading Up

Trading Up

Trading Up: Why Consumers Want New Luxury Goods? and How Companies Create Them examines the business and social forces that have fueled the New Luxury phenomenon worldwide, tells stories of successful companies in the most important New Luxury categories, and includes discussion of the practices and methods that companies and leaders can use to take advantage of the trading-up trend. Trading Up was first published in 2003. The revised and updated 2005 hardcover edition proves that the trading-up phenomenon has not only grown stronger and more prevalent in the marketplace, but is now widely recognized by both business and academic observers and is much discussed worldwide.

Cox Review of Creativity in Business: building on the UK’s strengths

The success of the creative industries notwithstanding, there is evidence that UK business is not realising the full potential of applying creativity more widely. The Cox review was commissioned to look at how best to enhance UK business productivity by drawing on our world-leading creative capabilities. The review has consulted extensively with key stakeholders in producing its findings, including the creative industries, businesses in a range of others sectors, education institutions and regional and devolved bodies, as well as international contacts, and has received invaluable contributions from a wide range of individuals and organisations.

Building a User-Focused Vision for Future Technology

Developing Diverse Usage Models

Intel's future vision addresses the technology needs of a global community while recognizing the diversity of usage models, as well as geographical and socio-economic conditions. A team of Intel researchers, including social scientists, engineers and designers, is exploring the future from a new perspective.

This team has thus far identified four important insights:

Technology isn't important to most users as long as it works and allows them to accomplish what they want.


Value is placed on a sense of community, whether it's connecting with family, or other associations.


Personal development is important to most users, including spiritual growth, as well as moral and ethical issues.


Institutional relationships are changing. Medical institutions and government agencies are focusing on new areas, such as remote patient monitoring and surveillance that might prevent terrorist attacks.


In response to these insights, Intel has expanded its focus from scenario- and trend-based research to include these four new categories:

The Community Our networks of family, friends, associates and those with whom we share interests will shift as new technologies change the ways we connect.


The Institution From corporate brands to the role of government, converged technologies and real-time information change relations of power and notions of accountability between people and the institutions we interact with in our daily lives.


The Body Converged computing means new devices worn on (or in) the body, new medical technologies, and new ways of sensing and perceiving the world.


The Spirit Offering individuals the chance to chase their dreams, find more fulfilling or engaging pursuits, even a greater sense of connectedness to the world around them, the past and the future.

For a full description, read the paper, "Spirits, Bodies, Communities and Institutions: Approaching User-Centered Design from Multiple Levels.”
