QUALITATIVE FORECASTING METHODS Qualitative forecasting methods are based on educated opinions of appropriate persons 1. Delphi method: forecast is developed by a panel of experts who anonymously answer a series of questions; responses are fed back to panel members who then may change their original responses a- very time consuming and expensive b- new groupware makes this process much more feasible 2. Market research: panels‚ questionnaires‚ test markets‚ surveys‚ etc. 3. Product life-cycle

categories of research methodologies‚ the quantitative and the qualitative‚ and they both are used to answer research questions but in different ways. The main distinctions between these approaches lie in foundational premises related to how human beings understand the nature of the world in a better way (Willis‚ 2007). The selection of the approach to be used will depend on the research problem to be analyzed.

Graphs‚ Groups and Surfaces 1 Introduction In this paper‚ we will discuss the interactions among graphs‚ groups and surfaces. For any given graph‚ we know that there is an automorphism group associated with it. On the other hand‚ for any group‚ we could associate with it a graph representation‚ namely a Cayley graph of presentations of the group. We will first describe such a correspondence. Also‚ a graph is always embeddable in some surface. So we will then focus on properties of graphs

DESCRIBING GRAPHS AND CHARTS The function of a line graph is to describe a TREND pictorially. You therefore should try and describe the trend in it. If there are many lines in the graph(s)‚ then just generally describe the trend. If there is only one or two‚ then use more detail. So‚ describe the movement of the line(s) of the graph giving numerical detail at the important points of the line. To describe the movement‚ there is some language which will always be useful. Below is a list of language

Exploring nurse scheduling with cyclical scheduling methods Abstract The main focus of this paper is to explore the use of cyclical scheduling methods in nurse scheduling through literature review. Cyclical scheduling can be effectively used to schedule work shifts in hospitals and other situations in terms of time saving because computer software and mathematical programming is not needed. Additionally‚ scheduling is one of the main topics
