Abstract:
In France, the new product sales forecasting activity has progressively left the area of measurements done in a real environment in favour of simulated test: those tests are usually cheaper, shorter and much more confidential. The main purpose of this paper is to show empirical evidences that : - Some of the underlying assumptions made a few years ago by the model-builders are to be reviewed today; - It is impossible to ignore definitely measurements done in real conditions.
