Abstract

It is widely recognized that the systems analyst's task is a formidable one. To perform his duties, the systems analyst must rely upon a broad array of disciplines. In particular, he must be familiar with the intricacies of two diverse worlds: that of the organization and that of the computer. Aside from the obvious size and complexity of these concerns, the contrast between these two ends of the spectrum is most striking. On one hand, the organization is qualitative and unstructured. On the other hand, the computer is technical and rigid. Therefore, it is no surprise to anyone that we have had difficulty with the application of computing technology to the information systems of organizations.
