OFTEN IMITATED, NEVER DUPLICATED...
There is simply no other Systems Analysis and Design textbook as exciting
as Kendall & Kendall'. Their dynamic, comprehensive presentation
leaves no stone unturned. With plenty of review questions and problems,
hypothetical consulting situations, an ongoing case study, and even
an associated Internet-based case study, this book makes the concepts
of the course understandable and motivating. You are given all the
tools to learn how to become a successful systems analyst, ace your
exams, and have fun doing it'
YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO BE A SYSTEMS ANALYST AND SYSTEMS DESIGNER...
This book includes expanded coverage of data flow diagrams, data
dictionaries, and process specifications, as it introduces examples
of new software used by analysts and designers to manage projects,
analyze and document systems, design new systems, and implement
their plans.
YOU NEED CURRENT TOPICS IN SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN...
The fifth edition of Systems Analysis and Design has new coverage
of UML, wireless technologies, ERP, Web-based systems for e-commerce,
and expanded coverage on RAD and GUI design.
YOU WANT YOUR SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN TEXT TO GIVE YOU HANDS-ON
EXPERIENCE...
HyperCase—original, hypertext-based software created by the
authors—is located on the text's Companion Web site: www.prenhall.com/kendall.
This innovative software gives users firsthand experience with a
business and organizational structure, allowing you to interview
employees, observe office dynamics and practices, analyze prototypes,
and review existing systems. The case, a businesssimulation called
"Maple Ridge Engineering," is revisited throughout the
text, with end-of-chapter exercises. All activities are based on
real-life consulting experiences.
YOU MUST HAVE INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET EXPERIENCE AS A SYSTEMS
ANALYST...
The authors include new coverage on analyzing e-commerce—including
thorough new material of e-commerce Web site design—and more
than 70 consulting opportunities, including new ones with an e-commerce
focus. Students can evaluate the political, ethical, social, and
economic implications of their systems design in these mini-cases.
KENDALL & KENDALL, SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN, FIFTH EDITION
giving you the tools to learn, practice, and perfect your skills
in Systems Analysis and Design like no other text on the market
ever has or ever will!

From Book News, Inc.
This fifth edition of a text for undergraduates at a university, graduate
school, or community college includes new mini cases on designing
for e-commerce and modeling with UML, new approaches for designing
e-commerce Web sites, expanded coverage of GUI design, and new coverage
of Web site security and privacy. Full color has been added for this
edition, making concept diagrams and screen captures more clear. Coverage
encompasses systems analysis fundamentals, information requirements
analysis, the analysis process, essentials of design, and software
engineering and implementation. An ongoing case takes students through
all phases of the systems development life cycle, and cases at a Web
site immerse students in a virtual organization. The authors are affiliated
