Handbook of Systems Analysis: Craft Issues and Procedural Choices v. 2

Systems (or policy) analysis addresses problems of policy, decision and evaluation in public and private administration. This book discusses the professional issues and choices faced by systems analysts in their everyday work, taking into account technical, economic, environmental and social factors. It is not devoted to the tools, methods and techniques of systems analysis, but rather with matters of particular importance which analysts must face on a day-to-day level. It is directed not only at systems analysts but also at professional workers in other fields co-operating in a systems study.
