The Microubble Economy

(Updated 06/27/11)

Issue: Market Complexity
Affects: Virtually all B2B and B2C Markets, Thought and Idea Leaders, Political Candidates/Parties, Non-Profits and Charities
Via: Social Media and Networks

The Markets Institute has identified a new and growing business and consumer buying behavior that can negatively affect transactions and trends through rapid sequences of hype, hope, disillusionment, and abandonment. The Markets Institute calls this the “hype-hope-heap” cycle. We call these cycles "Microbubbles."
 
Microbubbles are fueled in social networks and through social media, as well as instant communications, numerous agile competitors, and many current product-service design, advertising, PR and sales tactics.

Failure to adjust strategies to prevent Microbubbles will lead to losses in the hundreds of billions of dollars throughout our economy.
