This document discusses demand forecasting. It defines demand forecasting as predicting future demand. The objectives of demand forecasting are to aid both short-term planning like production scheduling, and long-term planning like capacity expansion. Common techniques for demand forecasting include surveys of consumers to predict future consumption, opinion polls of industry experts, and statistical methods that analyze historical demand trends. The document also discusses factors that influence demand and the various competitive forces that impact businesses according to Porter's five forces model.demand forecasting

This document discusses techniques for demand forecasting. It describes both qualitative (subjective) methods like expert opinion, sales force surveys, and market research as well as quantitative (objective) methods like time series analysis, regression analysis, and econometric models. Qualitative methods rely on human judgment while quantitative methods use mathematical or simulation models based on historical data. The document also notes limitations of demand forecasting like changing consumer preferences, difficulty understanding consumer psychology, high costs for small businesses, and lack of past data or experts.Ad

The document discusses several theories of motivation:
1. Content theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory and Herzberg's two-factor theory examine factors that motivate employees from within, such as achievement and growth.
2. Process theories like expectancy theory and equity theory analyze how employees make choices and how their motivation is affected by perceptions of fair outcomes.
3. Reinforcement theories like Skinner's model emphasize that motivation is shaped by environmental rewards and punishments rather than inner drives. The document provides an overview of these major motivation theories.Lays Vs Bingo

Demand & SupplyJiten Sharma
油
This document discusses demand, supply, and market equilibrium. It provides the following key points:
1) Demand is the relationship between price and the quantity consumers are willing and able to purchase. Supply is the relationship between price and the quantity producers are willing and able to provide.
2) The demand curve slopes downward and the supply curve slopes upward, showing that quantity demanded increases with lower prices and quantity supplied increases with higher prices.
3) Market equilibrium occurs where the supply and demand curves intersect, establishing the equilibrium price where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded.Indifference curve
Indifference curveJiten Sharma
油
An indifference curve represents combinations of two goods that provide equal satisfaction to a consumer. It has a negative slope and is convex, meaning that the marginal rate of substitution diminishes as consumption increases along the curve. The slope of the indifference curve represents the rate at which a consumer is willing to substitute one good for another to maintain the same satisfaction level.Ad

- 3. Short Term Forecasting It normally relates to a period not exceeding a year Benefits of Short term forecasting Drafting of Production Policy Evolving a Sales Policy Determining Price Policy Fixation of Sales Target
- 4. Long Term Forecasting It refers to the forecasts prepared for long period during which the firms scale of operations or the production capacity may be expanded or reduced. Benefits of Long term forecasting Business Planning Manpower Planning Long-Term Financial Planning
- 5. COMPONENTS OF DEMAND FORECASTING SYSTEM Market research operations to procure relevant and reliable information about the trends in market. A data processing and analysing system to estimate and evaluate the sales performance in various markets. Proper co-ordination of steps (i) and (ii) above Placing the findings before the top management for making final decisions.
- 6. Significance /Use/ Importance of Demand Forecasting Production Planning Sales Forecasting Control of Business Inventory Control Growth and Long Term Investment Program Economic Planning and Policy Making Avoiding Surplus and Inadequate Production
- 7. Sources of Data Primary: which are collected for first time for purpose of analysis Secondary : are those which are obtained from someones else records
- 8. Techniques of Demand Forecasting Survey Methods Consumer Survey Opinion Poll Methods Market Studies Complete Expert & Enumeration Opinion Experiments Sample Delphi Survey Method Market Test Laboratory Test
- 9. Consumer Survey Methods Complete enumeration Method: All potential users of product are contacted and are asked about their future plan of purchasing the product in question Limitations Very expensive in case of widely dispersed market Consumers may not know their actual demand and may br unable to answer query Their plans may change with a change in factors not included in questionnaire
- 10. Contd. Sample Survey: Only a few potential consumers and users selected from relevant market are surveyed Method is simpler, less costly and less time consuming. Surveys are done to understand market demand, tastes ad preferences, Consumer expectations etc
- 11. Opinion Poll Method Aim at collecting opinions of those who are supposed to possess the knowledge of the market e.g sales representatives, sales executives, consultants and professional marketing experts This method includes Expert opinion Delphi method
- 12. Expert opinion Under this method each expert is asked independently to provide a confidential estimate and results could be averaged. Experts may include executives directly involved in the market such as suppliers, distributors or dealers or marketing consultants, officers of trade association etc. Advantage is that there is no danger that group of experts develop a group- think mentality. Moreover, forecasting is done quickly and easily without need of elaborate need of statistics.
- 13. Delphi Method This method is an attempt to arrive at a consensus on some issues by questioning a group of experts repeatedly until the responses appear to converge along a single line or the issues causing disagreement are clearly defined. Generally a panel consisting 9 to 12 experts A coordinator is required for the process
- 14. Market Experimentation Test marketing A test area is selected, which should be a representative of the whole market in which the new product is to be launched. A test area may include several cities having similar features i.e. population, income levels, cultural and social background, choice and preferences of consumers Market experiments are carried out by changing prices, advertisement expenditure and other controllable variables influencing demand After such changes are introduced in the market, consequent changes in demand over a period of time are recorded.
- 15. Contd. Experiments in laboratory or consumer clinic method Under this method consumers are given some money to buy in a stipulated store goods with varying prices, packages, displays etc. They are also requested to fill a questionnaire asking reasons for the choices they have made The experiment reveals the consumers responsiveness to the changes made in prices, packages and displays.
- 16. Limitations of market experiment methods Very expensive Being costly, carried out on a scale too small to permit generalization with a high degree of reliability Based on short term and controlled conditions which may not exist in an uncontrolled market Tinkering with price increases may cause a permanent loss of customers to competitive brands
