For this week's assignment you will want to start in Google Scholar (or any electronic Library you may have access to) and locate one Journal Articles (less than 7 years old) that address some facet of forecasting. To Search, start by entering search terms such as "Demand Forecasting" or "Forecasting Methods" into the search bar and a long list of sub-topic titles will appear. Choose a journal article that (a) interests you, and (b) has a PDF version you can download to your PC or MAC. Read the journal article through from start to finish while making notes on the research, the findings, and the conclusions. Then using the Word template provided below, report on the journal article you chose:
- Title of the journal article, author, publishing journal, year of publication,
- A summation that introduces the Journal article subject matter
- Type of research conducted and research question (if there is one)
- Background information as to why this journal article was written (look in the Literature Search/Survey section)
- Findings and Conclusions if a research-based article
- A short summary of what you learned that added to your understanding of demand driven forecasting
