Book Review: Demand Forecasting for Executives and Professionals, by Stephan Kolassa, Bahman Rostami-Tabar, and Enno Siemsen

With this volume, the well-seasoned authors seek to impart some of their hard-won experience to new forecasters. Over the course of 22 relatively short chapters, the authors provide a concise introduction to a wide variety of topics that someone entering the field would find useful. Organized into six broad sections - Introduction, Forecasting Basics, Forecasting Models, Forecasting Quality, Forecasting Organization, and Learning More - each is accompanied by useful examples and straightforward explanations, and every chapter ends with key takeaways.
