Technological forecast means what kind of technologies will be prevalent in the future and how technology will shape future.
For example what will be the social network impacts, Cloud solutions, Block chain technologies be like.
These kind of forecasts are purely subjective and intuitive and does not have some measurable past data which can be related to future, So judgemental forecasting is best suited for these forecasts

Financial Planning and Forecasting: Using Regression to Improve Forecasts Regression analysis is a statistical technique that fits a line to observed data points so that the resulting equation can be used to forecast other data points. It is useful in excess capacity and economies of scale situations. Economies of scale occur when the ratio of asset to sales will change as the size of the firm increases. Regression analysis can lead to improved financial forecasts and better information which can...

2.11) Consider the reasons why one chooses which technique to create a variable. • a) List three reasons why one would implement a variable using a register. • b) List three reasons why one would implement a variable on the stack and access it using RegX indexed mode addressing. • c) List three reasons why one would implement a variable in RAM and access it using extended mode addressing.
The manager of a travel agency asked you to come up with a forecasting technique that will best fit to the actual demand for packaged tours. You have observed and recorded the actual demand for the last 10 periods. You also identified two possible techniques for consideration: 2-month moving averages (F1), and exponential smoothing (F2) with a smoothing constant of 0.40. Using Cumulative Forecasting Error (CFE) and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) as your performance measures you will determine the technique...
do you agree or disagree and why? Langabeer and Helton (2016) state that forecasting is "a collaborative process that estimates the volume of patients who will be served over a specific time period" (p. 107). Forecasting is a form of planning ahead for the future. Planning ahead is biblical. Proverbs 21:5 supports this when it says "Careful planning puts you ahead in the long run; hurry and scurry puts you further behind". Healthcare managers need to plan ahead and also...
