Features: As the title suggests, this book discusses the development techniques of information systems. Indeed, the development and maintenance of information systems are the main content of this book. However, with the development of the concept and application of information systems, successful experiences and lessons from failures have made people realize that the construction process of information systems is a complex social process. System thinking is an important ideological weapon for system construction, and the application of management knowledge plays an even more important role than technology. This book emphasizes these viewpoints in many places, and readers are sure to notice this. The book consists of 12 chapters. The first three chapters introduce the basic concepts of systems, management, and information. Chapters 4 to 9 discuss the structured methods for developing information systems, introducing the tasks and implementation methods of each stage of the system life cycle, including system planning, system analysis, system design, system implementation, and system maintenance management. The last three chapters discuss the development of information systems, introducing the concept of business process reengineering, as well as the prototyping, object-oriented, and soft system methods for developing information systems. This book can be used as a textbook for majors such as information management and computer applications, and can also be referenced by technical personnel and managers engaged in the construction of information systems.
