1 - 10 / 90 = 1 - 0,1111 = 0,8889
This means that if forecast from your question is 90 and absolute arror is 10, than forecast accuracy is 88,89%

Re: Why Team Building Have Little to do With Building of a Team?

laurusnobilis — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:36:09 -0000

My article may sound personal, and it really represents my opinion. I am aware that some
people like these events for different reasons. For somebody it is
entertainment since he/she may like particular activity. For somebody it is fun
for free, since organizer is paying for accommodation, food and activities. I
do not like it, since it represents the utmost demonstration of employer’s
power over employee. The message is clear: you ( employee ) are my slave and
you must do whatever I command you.

The irony can be unbelievable sometimes. I had a personal conflict with my human resource
manager. I didn’t want to go to certain team building activities, for several
personal reasons, which I didn’t want to explain to her. She told me that I am
not a team player. This is not particularly interest statement, since it is
usual discriminatory phrase used in such occasion. The important aspect of this
situation is that I was previously present to the story telling, by the same person,
who was in the same situation as I was. She also refused to do some activity
and she was called non-team player. Now the same person is telling to somebody
about not being a team player. What a superb case of hypocrisy.

Re: Investment: Is Gold Coming Back?

laurusnobilis — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:09:10 -0000

The price of gold shortly went above $1.500 per ounce ( Apr 11. ). Now is a little bit below this level, but still this is the proof that trend of gold price increase is continuing. It seems that other insecure investment sectors and weak dollar are still turning investors toward the gold.

Re: Basic Skills: Planning and Organizing

laurusnobilis — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 16:27:49 -0000

Planning is very important aspect of business. Planning of activities may not be so visible at the first glance, since the planning activities are done behind other "big" activities ( marketing, sales, ... ). Planning becomes visible mostly when the things go wrong. Still, planning can not be neglected in any way. Planning stands behind any bad and good result of the company.

Re: Sales Forecast Accuracy

laurusnobilis — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 03:56:10 -0000

The formula calculates the variance of absolute difference of actual sales and forecast sales ( numerator ) to actual sales ( denominator ). So, the variance is forecast error to the sales.

If the actual sales is 0 than the forecast accuracy is 0%. Of course, mathematically division by zero returns an error, but from the perspective of sales analytic the 0 sales to XY forecast gives 0% forecast accuracy.
