Instructions:
Forecast the future of the firm with this new strategy/decision using qualitative and quantitative forecasting techniques that we have learned from the course. For quantitative forecasting, you should find and use real data (with at least 20 data points) related to your topic; take this into consideration when you choose the topic.
Please help me, I am struggling with what I want to do and not sure how to proceed. I was going to forecast with the impact the announcement of the Amazon and Whole Foods merge, but am not sure where to go. I have included what I have so far, but I am stuck, I think I need to add the final tab for Trend- adjusted Exponential smoothing, but I am not sure how since I am using a specific week. Can you help me set the formula up, or get me in the right direction?
I am wondering if there is a better way to forecast this, please help, I am at a roadblock.
