Planning is a critical process when starting a new business or introducing a new product. Market Analysis shows readers how to execute a feasibility study for more effective planning. A step-by-step approach leads the reader through the feasibility analysis process and describes what needs to be done and how to do it. Techniques and tools used in preparing a feasibility study are emphasized and can easily be applied directly from the book to real situations. Three sample feasibility studies are included to demonstrate the application of tools in manufacturing, service, and non-profit settings. Market Analysis contains all the information needed to complete a feasibility study and a complete outline of a business plan. It covers such important topics as strategic management and planning, determining market size for a product or business, analyzing costs and returns on investment for new products and services, sources of capital for new ventures, and analysis of competition. An annotated bibliography of sources of data used for feasibility studies is included for quick reference. Market Analysis is the ideal guide for all strategic planners, market analysts, and marketing researchers. Anyone considering starting a business or launching a new product will find this practical book packed with invaluable information. Translated into Chinese!

Systems Analysis and Design: An Object-Oriented Approach with UML, 5th Edition by Dennis, Wixom, and Tegarden captures the dynamic aspects of the field by keeping students focused on doing SAD while presenting the core set of skills that every systems analyst needs to know today and in the future. The text enables students to do SAD—not just read about it, but understand the issues so they can actually analyze and design systems. The text introduces each major technique, explains what it is, explains how to do it, presents an example, and provides opportunities for students to practice before they do it for real in a project. After reading each chapter, the student will be able to perform that step in the system development process.
A modern computer program, such as the one that controls a rocket’s journey to moon, is like a medieval cathedral—vast, complex, layered with circuits and mazes. To write such a program, which probably runs into a hundred thousand lines or more, knowledge of an object-oriented language like Java or C++ is not enough. Unified Modelling Language (UML), elaborated in detail in this book, is a methodology that assists in the design of software systems. The first task in the making of a software product is to gather requirements from the client. This well-organized and clearly presented text develops a formal method to write down these requirements as Use Cases in UML. Besides, it also develops the concepts of static and dynamic modelling and the Unified Process that suggests incremental and iterative development of software, taking client feedback at every step. The concept of Design Patterns which provide solutions to problems that occur repeatedly during software development is discussed in detail in the concluding chapters. Two appendices provide solutions to two real-life problems. Case Studies, mapping of examples into Java code that are executable on computers, summary and Review Questions at the end of every chapter make the book reader friendly. The book will prove extremely useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Computer Science and Engineering, Information Technology, and Master of Computer Applications (MCA). It will also benefit professionals who wish to sharpen their programming skills using UML.
