Synopsis

This resourceful guide to business forecasting for investors and managers explains the relationship between statistics and the very human quality of initiative, which drives many to business activity. Contrary to some misconceptions, the author highlights how applied statistical research is not intended to limit initiative, but rather to increase the effectiveness of decision-making. Covering long-term trends that persist without change through business cycles, to recurrent upswings and downturns that occur over the span of just a few years, this book provides a firm foundation in business statistics to demystify the process of forecasting. The author also underscores the importance of not only accurately predicting the future, but also the timing of future events. Highly accessible and chock full of illuminating examples, this book is an essential tool for both the business veteran and the novice investor.
