Oct 7 foresight presentation
This document discusses trends from 2010 regarding the future of society, government, technology and philanthropy. It notes that foresight helps with planning but is difficult to make time for. Looking back from 2020, it discusses an uneven distribution of new technologies and a desire for change in 2010. Underlying economic, environmental and social pressures created a complex situation for organizations. Technology growth like social media transformed communications while creating divisions around age and wealth. This led to predictions of smaller government and more localized, community-based solutions facilitated by individuals' direct online giving and volunteering.

This assignment asks students to analyze whether a Domino's Pizza location should open in their community. Students are instructed to:
1) Conduct demographic research and use relevant variables in a demand analysis.
2) Input data into a regression analysis to determine the coefficient of determination and how it impacts the opening decision.
3) Test the statistical significance of the regression and how it impacts the decision.
4) Forecast four months of pizza demand using the regression and justify assumptions.
5) Determine whether Domino's should open based on the forecast, providing rationale.
6) Cite government sources for demographic data.
Questions in notes
A main contractor must forecast turnover for the coming year by considering current, probable, and possible projects. This helps determine staffing needs, overheads, profits, and cashflow. However, forecasting is challenging as only current work is definite, and future work depends on economic conditions and tender outcomes. Cost value reconciliations compare actual costs to valued work and flag overruns, helping monitor project performance.
Forecasting assignment analysis paper
Dhruv Patel analyzed forecasting data for ABC Company to estimate future incident rates and losses for 2016. He started by creating a model to estimate the incident rate for each year using data from 2009-2015. Graphs showed the incident rate frequency decreasing over time while average severity increased. Regression analysis was used to calculate coefficients to estimate the 2016 incident rate and average severity. The estimated 2016 incident rate and average severity were then used to calculate the total losses for 2016 at $7,373,707 based on an exposure of 30,500 employees. Overall, the analysis outlined relationships between employee injuries, incident losses, and employment statistics to forecast future worker compensation costs.

Demand forecasting with Delphi Method, Trend Projection Method and other methods
The document provides an overview of several methods for demand forecasting that were discussed in an assignment for a university course, including the Delphi method, trend projection method, moving average method, chain ratio method, consumption level method, and end user method. It summarizes each method and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. The Delphi method relies on a panel of experts to anonymously provide forecasts and revise their judgments. Trend projection analyzes past numerical data to identify trends and project them into the future. Moving average smooths out short-term fluctuations by calculating averages over different time periods. The chain ratio method develops forecasts by applying a series of related percentages. The consumption level method estimates demand based on income and price elasticities. The
Agribusiness decision making
This document discusses key decision areas in agribusiness related to inputs, processes, and outputs. It covers several topics:
1. Introduction to the importance of agriculture and agribusiness in India.
2. Agricultural input decisions including seeds, fertilizers, machinery, and credit that fuel agricultural production.
3. Processing decisions around converting raw commodities into higher value processed goods and managing related functions.
4. Product decisions regarding the product mix, individual product positioning, and extending product lines.
5. Production planning for manufacturing processes, addressing seasonality and perishability of agricultural commodities.
6. Packaging decisions to protect products during handling, transportation, and long-term storage
The foresight framework: Structuring a Foresight Project
The document outlines six activities that can help organizations with foresight: framing, scanning, forecasting, visioning, planning, and acting. Framing involves adjusting attitudes, understanding objectives, and creating strategic work environments. Scanning requires mapping systems, studying history, scanning environments, and involving colleagues. Forecasting identifies drivers and uncertainties to generate and prioritize alternative futures. Visioning identifies implications and assumptions to develop visionary thinking. Planning develops strategic options. Acting communicates results, creates action agendas and intelligence systems, and institutionalizes strategic thinking. The document provides percentages of benefits for each activity and contact information for Andy Hines of the University of Houston Foresight program.
Human resource management assignment
This document discusses human resource management (HRM), including its scope, functions, and the process of HR planning.

demand forecasting techniques
Demand forecasting estimates future demand for a product over a period of time. Engro Foods uses a combination of qualitative, causal, and opinion poll methods for sales and demand forecasting. The qualitative method uses historical data and management judgment. The causal method links demand to economic and pricing factors. The opinion poll method collects insights from sales experts. Engro Foods could improve forecasts by also using trend and smoothing techniques.
