Riassunto

For courses in Systems Analysis and Design, Structured

A clear presentation of information, organized around the systems development life cycle model

 

This briefer version of the authors’ highly successful Modern System Analysis and Design is a clear presentation of information, organized around the systems development life cycle model. Designed for courses needing a streamlined approach to the material due to course duration, lab assignments, or special projects, it emphasizes current changes in systems analysis and design, and shows the concepts in action through illustrative fictional cases.

Teaching and Learning Experience
This text will provide a better teaching and learning experience–for you and your students. Here's how:

• Features a clear presentation of material which organizes both the chapters and the book around The Systems Development Life Cycle Model, providing students with a comprehensive format to follow.
• Provides the latest information in systems analysis and design
• Students see the concepts in action in three illustrative fictional cases
