Forecasting profit - Mike Metcalfe

This book is about managing the task of forecasting
profit. It builds a case for using multiple methods, providing
examples of each method, and suggesting practical techniques to use in
dealing with the issues and problems of accuracy in profit forecasts.
All the elements that infringe on profits (costs, sales, budgeting,
investment, and loan default) are examined within this framework. In
addition to synthesizing the research, Professor Metcalfe has applied
his own research work on forecast modeling and judgmental methods. The
final result is a practical reference book for making more accurate
profit forecasts.
