Chaotics : an agenda for business and society in the 21st century
To what degree are our lives in reality governed by misguided notions? Do businesses in fact succeed by chance? Are societal and business forces and their effects perhaps not really understood at all? According to the three international authors who have come together to write this book, the real world cannot be understood in terms of conventional deterministic philosophies nor even of standard chaos theory. A new discipline is needed, one that recognizes that complexity in itself has a powerful but subtle role to play. The new discipline of \"chaotics\" introduced by the authors will alter our thinking about the real forces of change in our society. Beginning with the foundations of the discipline, their book applies chaotics to business and wealth creation and to society itself.

Out-of-Sample Equity Premium Prediction: Combination Forecasts and Links to the Real Economy
Welch and Goyal (2008) find that numerous economic variables with in-sample predictive ability for the equity premium fail to deliver consistent out-of-sample forecasting gains relative to the historical average. Arguing that model uncertainty and instability seriously impair the forecasting ability of individual predictive regression models, we recommend combining individual forecasts. Combining delivers statistically and economically significant out-of-sample gains relative to the historical average consistently over time. We provide two empirical explanations for the benefits of forecast combination: (i) combining forecasts incorporates information from numerous economic variables while substantially reducing forecast volatility; (ii) combination forecasts are linked to the real economy.

On Trend
Trends have become a commodity—an element of culture in their own right and the very currency of our cultural life. Consumer culture relies on a new class of professionals who explain trends, predict trends, and in profound ways even manufacture trends. On Trend delves into one of the most powerful forces in global consumer culture. From forecasting to cool hunting to design thinking, the work done by trend professionals influences how we live, work, play, shop, and learn. Devon Powers' provocative insights open up how the business of the future kindles exciting opportunity even as its practices raise questions about an economy increasingly built on nonstop disruption and innovation. Merging industry history with vivid portraits of today's trend visionaries, Powers reveals how trends took over, what it means for cultural change, and the price all of us pay to see—and live—the future.
