Systems Analysis and Design An Active Approach First Edition by Dr. George M. Marakas Web-based Case Now Available! See the Faculty Resources section for more details! Systems Analysis and Design - An Active Approach uses a web-based case teaching approach to create a simulation of a "real-world" environment, with the aspects of business problem-solving and introduction of new technology into an organizational setting. One of the most unique aspects of this approach to doing systems analysis and design is the use of multimedia-supported role-playing scenarios. Through the use of the access-controlled Web site available with the purchase of this text, the students will engage in a series of team-oriented, role-play case studies that are intended to simulate the activities, episodes, and encounters typically experienced during the various phases of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). Each case, and its associated role-play presentation, is designed to create a realistic simulation of the technical, organizational, social, cultural, and behavioral aspects of business problem identification and solving.   NOMAS Access Code © 2001 by Prentice Hall, Inc.
