Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzGoing Deeper, Seeing FurtherRethinking conventional methods is a great way to come up with new ideas for the future

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzGoing Deeper, Seeing FurtherLearning more about individuals will help researchers learn about the overall population

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzGoing Deeper, Seeing FurtherTriangulating ideas include turning skeptics into believers, involving everyone to find a common ground connecting everybody, and having strong foundations

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzGoing Deeper, Seeing FurtherCompanies need to be able to understand what is happening in human culture so they can adapt to their needs

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzEthnographic Research, Students Playing PoolOne student taking his turn in a game of pool

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzEthnographic Research, Students Playing PoolThree friends are playing pool

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzEthnographic Research, Students Playing PoolThey continue to play and a crowd begins to form around them

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzEthnographic Research, Students Playing PoolThis player is about to take his shot

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzEthnographic Research, Students Playing PoolThree players continue their game

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzEthnographic Research ObservationsEveryone that was involved in the game did not speak when someone else was taking their turn

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzEthnographic Research ObservationsIn between turns, the group would have friendly chats about the previous shot or overall game

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzEthnographic Research ObservationsAfter each game, the group would take a short intermission before playing another game

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzEthnographic Research ObservationsOccasionally one person would ask if the others wanted to play for money, but it never happened

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzEthnographic Research FindingsWinning and beating the others at pool were the main unexpressed needs and desires

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzInterviewing HumansThe main purpose of the interview is to listen and learn from the other person

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzInterviewing HumansStay focused and on track at all times

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzInterviewing HumansRefrain from using yes or no questions, instead use open-ended questions

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzInterviewing HumansBeing relaxed and comfortable will help the interview progress even smoother

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzInterviewing HumansMake sure the responses given are detailed and not vague

Design, Business, and InnovationSteven JacobovitzExecutive SummaryEmploying a closed top at the end of the cue to allow for the pool cues to be less likely to slip. This invention also includes score-keeping technology built into the cue.The resulting game experience will increase scoring throughout the games. It will keep track of how many times each person wins a game. It promotes more conviviality between the players because it causes less disputes.Users for this product may include college students, families, and the customers for any place of business that owns a pool table.
