Abstract

[en] This research thesis aims at analyzing the key elements that enable successful
forecasting projects in a company which operates within an interorganizational framework.
More precisely, it is about identifying essential factors which influence the effectiveness and
efficiency of the forecasting management process in a positive or negative way. The unexpected
global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has shaken supply chains and highlights
the need to address demand forecasting under uncertainty. Thus, to examine factors that are
fundamental to accurate forecasting and those that drive forecasting project deliverables.
Among others, methodical, technological and organizational factors will be identified in a
literature review. Further a holistic single-case study is conducted to analyze the identified
factors in an organizational environment. The findings will be interlinked to be then able to
derive recommendations for action and to be able to identify further fields of research based on
this thesis.
