Business and financial forecasting is of extreme importance to
managers at practically all levels. It is required for top managers
to make long-term strategic decisions. Middle management uses
sales forecasts to develop their departmental budgets. Every
other plan such as a production plan, purchasing plan, manpower
plan, and financial plan follows from demand forecasting. The
critical element in any supply chain plan is the demand forecast.
The goal of this course is to provide a working knowledge of the
fundamentals of business forecasting that can be applied in the
real world regardless of firm size. We walk you through basic
forecasting methodology, and then practical applications. It
encompasses a wide range of topics of major importance to
practical managers in all functional areas, including cash flow
forecasting, cost prediction, earnings forecasts, bankruptcy
prediction, foreign exchange forecasting, interest rate forecasting,
and technological forecasting. Stress is placed on the use of
computer technology, i.e., spreadsheets and stand-alone
forecasting software.
