Answer: This Week's forecast  = 78 appointments

Explanation:

4 Weeks ago = 95 , 3 Weeks ago =80 , 2 Weeks ago = 65 , last Week = 50

forecast : 2 weeks ago = 90

alpha = 0.20

exponential smoothing = recent previous appointment x a + forecast(1-a)

Forecast (last week) = 65 x 0.20 + 90 x (1 - 0.20)

Forecast (last week) = 13 + 72 = 85

Forecast for this week = 50 x 0.20 + 85 x (1 - 0.20)

Forecast for this week = 10 + 68 = 78

This Week's forecast would be 78 appointments

The most sensible position is to understand that theory, while not practical in itself, can be immensely helpful when dealing with pratical matters.

This is because theory gives you a sound conceptual foundation that can be used to analyze the practical context, and approach it with the best possible practical solutions.

Without theory, managers have to rely too much on intuition, which can often fail.
