Description
The increasing convergence of business studies and information technology has resulted in the need for a textbook on the overlap between business administration and IT. Most systems analysis textbooks assume readers already have a basic knowledge of the business environment and plunge straight into data flow diagrams and systems development methods. This book provides an introduction to systems analysis as well as to the relevant business and management issues. It complements the existing books in Blackwell's Information Systems Series and refers readers to them for further details on specific topics.
