The quality of the forecast depends on the accuracy of information and the predictability of events. What kind of time frame gives more accurate information and more predictability of events?
- / 4
- | P a g e
- A shorter time horizon
- A longer time horizon
A shorter time horizon
Explanation : The shorter the time horizon, the more
predictable the events and the more accurate the information. For example, organizations are generally able to estimate how many employees they need in the coming year, but are less successful at forecasting their needs for the next five years.
True or False: Simple linear regression works to predict future
employment needs because when sales double, the level of employment necessary will always double as well.
FALSE
Explanation : In simple linear regression analysis, a
projection of future demand is based on a past relationship 3 / 4
- | P a g e
between the organization’s employment level and a variable related to employment, such as sales. If a relationship can be established between the level of sales and the level of employment, predictions of future sales can be used to make predictions of future employment. Although there may be a relationship between sales and employment, the relationship is often influenced by an organizational learning phenomenon. This learning curve is what makes the statement false, because, for example, even though the sales may double, the level of employment necessary to support this increase may be less than double. An organizational learning curve can usually be determined by logarithmic calculations. Once the learning curve has been determined, more accurate projection of future employment levels can be established.
True or False: Because human resource management is about
managing the human capital needs within the organization, when implementing HRP, the organization only needs to focus on the organization's internal factors.
False
