Understand how forecasting errors shape which R&D projects get funded, and why plans often miss the mark.
This book analyzes real data from multiple laboratories to show how early estimates diverge from what actually happens, and how those gaps ripple through decisions and budgets. It presents a dynamic view of forecasting as a decision feedback loop where forecasts, actions, and results continually influence each other.
- See how cost overruns and project outcomes connect, and what that means for resource allocation.
- Learn how the source of a project idea affects its risk and chances of commercial success.
- Discover how reorganizing laboratories around product teams can improve forecast accuracy.
- Explore using history-based confidence intervals to quantify forecast risk for budgeting and planning.
Ideal for managers and students of technology development seeking practical insight into forecasting errors.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book targets the inaccuracy of forecasting in R&D project selection, focusing on typical errors that plague industrial product development programs. Drawing on research from multiple laboratories and computer simulations, the author analyzes the relationship between initial forecasts and project outcomes. The book emphasizes that errors in forecasting lead to a substantial portion of development budgets being wasted on projects that do not yield commercially successful products. The data and analyses provided enable managers to evaluate the accuracy of their own forecasting procedures and understand how errors propagate through the decision feedback loop. Ultimately, the insights gained from this book can assist firms in optimizing forecasting and project selection processes, improving resource allocation, and enhancing the efficiency of their R&D initiatives.
