Information systems : theory and practice / John G. Burch, Felix R. Strater, and Gary Grudnitski - Second Edition - New York : Wiley, c1979 - xv, 571 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Includes index.
I. Introduction to Information systems -- II. General Design Considerations of Information systems -- III. Data Base Development and Design Considerations -- IV. Information Systems Development Methodology -- V. Appendices.
In the previous edition we tried to develop a teachable and relevant information systems pack-age. At that time, the area of information systems was considered to be amorphous. The subject area was new relative to traditional accounting, algebra, statistics, and other courses that had reached a level of acceptability and stability. Some students even commented that organized instruction dealing with information systems was basically ineffective and compared it to a course attempting to teach someone how to paint a great picture or write a memorable sonnet. Several of these people were former students of our information systems course in its early stages of development.
