Abstract

If there is any one function managers most despise, it is the art of forecasting. By its very nature it concerns guessing the outcome of future events. Do all firms forecast the same? Compares forecasting behavior between industrial product firms and consumer product firms. Examines issues such as who does the forecasting, the frequency of forecasts, and the areas in which forecasts are made. Assesses the results gained from the forecasting effort and examines significant differences in forecasting behavior.
