Description
A new information system cannot be placed in an existing business organisation without considerable amount of developmental work. This work starts at the conceptual stage, when feasibility study is undertaken and continues through the planning and implemetation stages into the maintenance of an established system. In practice the work of development never finishes: business organisations are organic, constantly changing and any information system needs to change and grow with the organisation. The book guides the non-technical reader through the essential stages of developing an efficient business information system.
