Publisher's Synopsis
This is a practical text with examples that support the definitions, concepts and techniques presented. The five-phase approach to a systems project forms the basis of this book. Two on-going cases and two minicases at the end of each chapter reinforce chapter material and discussions of trade-offs throughout encourage students to learn different solutions to a particular problem. Topics such as prototyping, case tools and structured analysis are also addressed.;This book should be of interest to undergraduate students taking courses in systems analysis and design.
