Forecasting subject denotes any organization ore specialist engaged In forecasting. Forecasting object signifies those processes. system and events for which forecasting Is being made. Contlnguous problems can be solved only as a result of examining any problems belonging to subject or object groups, Let us try to charecter1ze In en abridged manner the essence and status of the above-mentioned problems. ~. Concepts and Principles pf forecostlng The problem of alms. concepts end principles of forecasting Is a determinant In the activities carried out during forecas­ting. The category of elm Is qualified as an Ideally ex~cted result of undertaken activities. In the process of forecasting the problem of aim acquired a duel meaning for a subject. On the one hand, It consists In the elaboration of alms, I.e. Identifi­ cation of the best result within the framework of a system of control led activities u~der consideration (from the point of view of an Individual, group or society). In forecasting S and T progress this actually comes to the establishment of future social requirements for Its results. On the other hand, this Is a problem of setting goals of forecasting per se In the process of achievement of selected alms. Forecasting can be done to establish Inertia dynamics of 
analysis: The text appears to be discussing the general principles and methods of forecasting, which is a broad and theoretical topic that can be applied to various fields. The language used is formal and academic, suggesting a focus on a specific domain that requires a high level of expertise. The concepts and principles mentioned, such as forecasting terminology, methodological apparatus, and organizational problems, are not specific to any particular industry or sector.
