Book Review in Journal of Business Forecasting

The Summer 2016 issue of Journal of Business Forecasting includes a book review of Business Forecasting: Practical Problems and Solutions. The review is by Simon Clarke, Group Director of Forecasting at The Coca-Cola Company.

You may be familiar with Clarke's many previous contributions to the forecasting literature, which include:

  • Managing the Introduction of a Structured Forecast Process: Transformational Lessons from Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc., Foresight #4 (June 2006).

and several entertaining "Joe and Simon Sez" articles co-authored with Joe Smith:

  • Who Should Own the Business Forecasting Function?, Foresight #20 (Winter 2011).
  • Forecasting Tools: Have They Upgraded the Forecasting Process?, Foresight #22 (Summer 2011).
  • Our Best Worst Forecasting Mistakes, Foresight #25 (Spring 2012).
  • Fostering Communication that Builds Trust, Foresight #28 (Winter 2013).
