Publisher's Synopsis
More and more business studies courses now include a module on systems analysis and design. Students on such courses are not necessarily technically orientated and need a non-technical exposition of the methods and advantages of systems analysis and design within the business context. This book provides comprehensive coverage of all major methods of systems analysis, including the soft (people-based) and integrated (people and machine-based) approaches, often ignored by traditional texts. Based on an earlier book by the same authors ( Intermediate Systems Analysis - Paradigm/BSP 1987), the book also looks at software engineering, with chapters on CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tools and information engineering and fourth generation languages.
