| Abstract: | Structuring forecasts in accordance with the different ways that people view the future can enhance both the validity and credibility of the forecasts. These viewpoints can be classified into five categories: extrapolators, pattern analysts, goal analysts, counterpunchers, and intuitors. The likelihood of successful forecasting is greatly increased when techniques from several of these viewpoints are used in concert. |
