Synopsis

Due to unawareness of the development cycle of systems from its conceptualization to implementation, almost half of corporate IS projects are delayed or abandoned before completion. The introduction of system analysis and design concepts and their implementations have proven to significantly enhance the success rate of system delivery. The Handbook of Research on Modern Systems Analysis and Design Technologies and Applications provides a compendium of more than 300 terms, definitions, and explanations of concepts in various areas of systems and design, as well as 35 cutting-edge research articles from 65 of the field's leading experts that, together, convey the current state of knowledge on systems analysis and design. Further, this incisive reference source fully contextualizes the best contemporary understanding of current and emerging tools by guiding readers through the evolution of systems analysis and design practices.
