Modern Systems Analysis and Design 5th International Edition
Modern Systems Analysis and Design 5th International Edition: for students outside the USA and Canada.
For advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Systems Analysis and Design taught from a business perspective.
Modern Systems Analysis and Design offers separate coverage of Object-Oriented and Structured material giving
instructors flexibility to choose the best way to connect the material with students.
KEY FEATURES
Object Oriented Approach: Self-contained at the end of applicable chapters, this approach is designed to present students with real-world examples. The material ranges from exercises on IS project management, to a special section on use cases, to a unique piece on sequence and activity diagrams, to an elaborate bit on object-oriented database design at the end of Chapter 9.
Structured Approach: This is a traditional, linear approach to teaching systems analysis and design. Chapters focus on the role, responsibilities and mindset of the systems analyst to define the methods and principles of systems development, rather than specific tools or tool-related skills of the field.
OTHER POINTS OF DIFFERENTIATION
Real World Cases Available: This text features three fictional cases in order to tie in potential issues that arise in the profession to the concepts and methods they are learning in the classroom. Cases include corporations such as: Pine Valley Furniture, Hoosier Burger, and Broadway Entertainment Company, Inc. to illustrate corporate problems and challenges.
Additional Screen Captures: These have been added and updated to show examples using the latest version of CASE tools, which provide automated support for some portion of the systems development process. These include: Rational Rose, programming and Internet development environments, and user interface. Additionally, references to websites are provided for students to stay current with technology trends that affect the analysis and design of information systems.
Extensive End of Chapter Material: The authors developed an extensive selection of end-of-chapter materials that are designed to accommodate various learning and teaching styles. Depending on students' wants and needs, instructors can base their reviews on the many exercises available.
Further Features:
* Chapter Summary: reviews the major topics of each chapter and previews the connection of the current tools with future ones.
* Key Terms: are designed to self-test students on their understanding of definitions
* Review Questions: tests students understanding of key concepts
* Problems & Exercises: tests students analytical skills
* Field Exercises: explores the practice of systems analysis and design in organizations
* References: to encourage further exploration of concepts within systems analysis
