„[The] book is solidly grounded in the application of theory... . A very comprehensive book that junior or student systemsanalysts would find helpful for fundamental concepts.“ (TheComputer Journal, January 2009)
„... a real-world view of systems and how best to analyzethem... recommended.“ (CHOICE, December 2007)
This book focuses on systems analysis, broadly defined to also include problem formulation and interpretation of proposed alternatives in terms of the value systems of stakeholders. Therefore, the book is a complement, not a substitute to other books when teaching systems engineering and systems analysis. The nature of problem solving discussed in this book is appropriate to a wide range of systems analyses. Thus the book can be used as a stand-alone book for teaching the analysis of systems. Also unique is the inclusion of broad case studies to stress problem solving issues, making How to Do Systems Analysis a complement to the many fine works in systems engineering available today.
