Forecasting and Demand Presentation
Forecasting is essentially a reactive approach that considers fluctuations in demand to be mostly outside the firm’s control.
Rather than simply forecasting and reacting to changes in demand, however, business executives would prefer to influence the
timing, pattern, and certainty of demand to whatever extent they can. They do this through demand management activities that
adjust product characteristics including price, promotion, and availability. The purpose is to influence product demand to achieve
sales objectives and to accommodate the supply chain resources and capacities that a firm has in place.
