Commentary on "Research into Forecasting Practice"

Abstract

In commenting on Robert Fildes' article, Willemain writes, "Professor Fildes has written an important and original paper. He focuses our attention on what I would call the "ecology of innovation" in forecasting practice, and reveals this to be a strategic but rarely studied topic. If his insight leads to follow-on activity by all three essential parties-academics, developers, and users-then we should expect important societal benefits. As someone who has played two of these three roles, I resonate to a number of Fildes' observations and would like to add my own thoughts to the mix. While they may seem rather negative, I consider them realistic and argue that they help further explain the problem that Fildes brings to our attention."
