Forecasting in Business

Forecasting is the process of predicting the future based on the past and the present data and circumstances. In other words, forecasting is the act of making a detailed analysis of future events based on the decisions made in the past as well as the present. Forecasting plays a very important role in operational management as it helps in planning and decision-making. It is not only important for the success of a business but also contributes to individual growth and success. Many business organizations or companies have failed due to the shortcomings of their forecasting.
