Information Analysis (Computer Studies Series)

Information Analysis offers a complete course on information analysis, introducing the idea that information is the major resource of an organisation and showing how data within various functional areas can be analysed and presented in a meaningful way using statistical and other quantitative techniques. The book relates the structure and function of organisations with essential topics in quantitative decision making so that the reader can establish a firm foundation for information systems development. The need for a comprehensive management information system and the role of modelling techniques are illustrated by the development of a case study of a local authority organisation.
