Its goal is to establish a standardized and universal language to mitigate confusion and ambiguity caused by differing definitions in the selling and buying process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStandardized terminology provides a common language, classification, and taxonomy based on consistent use of correct terms. This clarity resolves potential misunderstandings that arise from multiple interpretations or translations of terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe language of selling is not uniform. Each sales organization—whether for-profit or non-profit—has its unique terminology shaped by factors such as culture, industry, market sector, channels, competitors, and geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo standardize sales language, sellers must understand their products from the buyer’s perspective. Sales professionals and support roles must learn how prospective buyers and customers communicate—how they discuss problems, express feelings, and frame their needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLanguage evolves continuously, influenced by culture, markets, and industries. Many terms in the \u003ccite\u003eDictionary\u003c\/cite\u003e reflect this evolution and will continue to change over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ccite\u003eDictionary\u003c\/cite\u003e includes both legacy and current terms, with entries addressing the growing impact of technology and automation on sales and operations. These include concepts like buyer enablement, content management systems, contract lifecycle management, and customer relationship management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCross-functional terminology is also covered, reflecting departments that support sales organizations. Examples include Finance (revenue, gross profit, price), Marketing (promotion), Legal (compliance, governance, risk), Manufacturing (quality), and Ethics-related terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSales professionals—including Chief Sales Officers, field and inside salespeople, frontline managers, Chief Learning Officers, Sales Enablement and Operations Directors, Key Account Managers, and Business Development Directors—as well as marketing professionals, will find this dictionary invaluable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ccite\u003eDictionary\u003c\/cite\u003e is also a vital resource for professionals in Supply Chain and Procurement, as well as those in supporting roles such as Finance, Legal, Accounting, Operations, and Human Resources. It helps all stakeholders gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by sales professionals and buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLifelong learning and intentional growth are essential to staying at the top of your game.

It achieves this by thoroughly explaining and providing detailed examples of three essential components in designing and using effective, legally defensible selection programs. The first component is conducting a job analysis to identify the key activities of the job to be filled and the worker characteristics required to successfully perform these activities. The second involves understanding the laws and legal issues that apply to applicant recruitment and the conduct of selection programs. The third is a unique feature of this book: six chapters dedicated to building and using the primary tools for gathering information about applicants’ worker characteristics. These six tools include application materials, interviews, ability and job knowledge tests, personality inventories, job simulations and work samples, and tests for counterproductive work behaviors (e.g., integrity, drug, and genetic testing). Although organizations commonly use one or more of these tools, they often gather information that is not directly related to job performance, lacks adequate evaluation guidelines, or can be contested by applicants as unfair or discriminatory. Each chapter discusses how to avoid these pitfalls and develop reliable and defensible tools that provide valid information for selection decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book emphasizes “best practices,” not “easy practices.” Building a useful selection program requires time, thought, and effort. Ample evidence demonstrates that organizations that implement “best selection practices” achieve high levels of employee performance. These practices rest on three key assumptions. First, the information gathered from applicants must be directly related to job performance. Often, details such as degrees earned, previous job titles, future goals, or years of experience are not strongly related to job performance and may not even be verifiable. Second, a numerical scoring method must be applied to the information gathered. These scores quantify the extent of a worker characteristic that the applicant possesses. As in most organizational fields—such as finance, marketing, and production—decisions should be based on quantitative data. Third, selection decisions must follow decision rules that use these scores to determine whom to offer employment. Evidence clearly shows that decisions based on data are superior to those based on human judgment. These assumptions are increasingly fulfilled in successful organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExtremely reader-friendly, the text clearly presents its ideas and provides specific examples and detailed recommendations.

The authors' motivation for writing this book, is to give users the tools and insight to make the most effective forecasts drawing on the latest research ideas, without being overly technical. The book is unique in its design, providing an introduction to both standard and advanced forecasting methods, as well as a focus on general principles to guide and simplify forecasting practice for those with little or no professional experience. One of the book’s key strengths is the emphasis on real data sets, which have been updated in this second edition. These data sets are taken from government and business sources and are used throughout in the chapter examples and exercises. Forecasting techniques are demonstrated using a variety of software platforms beyond just “R”, and a companion website provides easy-to-use Excel® macros that users can access to conduct analyses. Another important innovation in the second edition is the tutorial support for using open-source R programs, making all the methods available for use both in courses and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the introductory chapters, the focus shifts to using extrapolative methods (exponential smoothing and ARIMA), then to statistical model-building using multiple regression.

The second edition also offers expanded material on data analytics, in particular neural nets together with software, and applications that include new research findings relevant and immediately applicable to operations, such as hierarchical modeling and temporal aggregation.
