Number 3 work: Week 4 Written Assignment - Forecasting
Your foray into becoming a successful consultant continues this week as you once again are expected to provide the board of directors a brief, 2 page word document/paper and accompanying visual (PowerPoint). This week''s objective is for you to create an understanding of the importance of forecasting to the sales and pricing strategies of the company you have chosen, and also detail some drawbacks associated with these strategies, as they relate to your company.
This is the clarification of week 4 assignment by the teacher: This week''s written assignment is somewhat vague and can be confusing to you. I am not very comfortable with it and will work with the University to make it more specific.I have received some emails seeking clarification and will raise those concerns with the appropriate authorities.

I think the intent of the question is for you "to create an understanding of the importance of forecasting" to the sales and pricing strategies of the company you have chosen and also discuss or "detail some drawbacks associated with it" with respect to your company.

Number 1 work is general but for 2 and 3, the company i have been writing about is Wal-Mart
