A new text for first courses in MIS analysis and design for upper undergraduates and graduate students...one that covers the full range of topics germane to the design and the analysis of business information systems, including C.A.S.E. (Computer Aided Software Engineering) techniques. Using a modular, step-by-step format, this text combines a strong foundation in underlying theory and concepts with coverage of both traditional and structured approaches to analysis and design problems. It gives students solid, practical experience with today's business systems - while providing a firm foundation in the fundamentals of the automated techniques (C.A.S.E.) that are the wave of the future. A master case study, presented in the appendixes, relates theory to practice and helps students apply what they've learned to solving genuine MIS problems in the context of realistic business environment. Because of its flexible, modular format, this text is equally suited to both one and two-term courses in computer science or business management.
