This microcomputer-based systems text emphasizes practical problem-solving tools and strategies, making it relevant to the real world without diluting the basic theoretical content. A sample case study unifies the theoretical concepts and serves as a model for readers to emulate during their study.

Review-Date: 5/19/2004 Rating: 5 Summary: So much info so little time...

I think this book is one of the best to teach you some very simple ways to handle designing a Information System for a small business. I recommend this book to be used in schools.. it has it all. If you think you know it all when it comes to the group dynamic of System Analysis and Design... pick this book up and learn even more.
