It shows how practitioners can apply multiple participatory perspectives in development, so as to avoid future problems. As a practical guide, it is presented to be readily comprehensible and is organized to enable users to concentrate on their goals efficiently, and with minimum theoretical elaboration. The chapters follow the sequence involved in planning an information system, explaining key words, the time involved in each step, ending with a tutorial or exercises. 606 $aSystem design$vAmateurs' manuals 606 $aSystem analysis$vAmateurs' manuals 606 $aElectronic digital computers$vAmateurs' manuals 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSystem design 615 0$aSystem analysis 615 0$aElectronic digital computers 676 $a004.21 700 $aBell$b Simon$f1957 July 30-$4oth$0897507 702 $aWood-Harper$b A.
