Features: In the 21st century, the competition among countries in terms of economy, technology, and comprehensive national strength will become even more intense. The center of this competition is undoubtedly the competition for talent. Who possesses a large number of high-quality talents will gain an advantage in the competition. As a cause of cultivating high-quality talents, higher education is inevitably given high importance. Currently, the updating of teaching materials in higher education in China is relatively slow. To accelerate the frequency of textbook updates, the Ministry of Education is actively promoting the adoption of foreign original textbooks by universities in China. This book is based on the author's 50 years of teaching experience in systems analysis and design, providing a detailed and clear introduction to the basic concepts, techniques, methods, technologies, tools, and application prospects of systems analysis and design, enabling readers to master the methods and principles of system development. The book is divided into 5 parts and 20 chapters: System Development Environment, Successful System Analysts, Management Information System Projects, Identifying and Selecting Development Systems, Project Initiation and Planning, Determining System Requirements, Constructing System Requirements through Process Modeling, Constructing System Requirements through Logical Modeling, Constructing System Requirements through Data Modeling, Selecting the Best Design Strategy, Designing Databases, Designing Forms and Reports, Designing Interfaces and Dialog Boxes, Determining Design Specifications, Distributed and Internet System Design, System Implementation, Information System Maintenance, Rapid Application Development, and Object-Oriented Analysis and Design, etc. This book serves as a textbook for senior undergraduate courses in "Information Management Systems" and "Computer Information Systems" and also as a reference for information system professionals.
