This includes new forecasting domains (e.g. rule-based forecasting, fuzzy logic forecasting, spline regression forecasting, etc.) and the growing area of business/marketing intelligence involving environmental scanning, “brain" monitoring, innovative intelligence methodologies, coopetition, strategic decision support systems, etc.
