For undergraduate and graduate systems analysis and design courses.
This Global Edition has been edited to include enhancements making it more relevant to students outside the United States
Modern Systems Analysis and Design uses a practical, rather than technical, approach to help students learn the methods and principles of systems development. This text covers the concepts, skills, methodologies, techniques, tools, and perspectives essential for systems analysts to successfully develop information systems.
Teaching and Learning Experience
