4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than a crysatl ball!, July 1, 1997
By A Customer
Here's a no-nonsense book that will blow away the clouds that block your vision of your company's future. It opens with an explanation of forecasting and planning, then explores a variety of methods. And last, the meat of the book, 100 pages on forecasting everything from sales to (ouch!) bankruptcy. This book is for the person wanting dependable results and willing to work to get them
