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 410 0$aWiley series in systems engineering and management. 606 $aSystem analysis 615 0$aSystem analysis. 676 $a658.4/032 700 $aGibson$b John E$0907 701 $aScherer$b William T$01837312 701 $aGibson$b William F$0193089 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911018821503321 996 $aHow to do systems analysis$94416012 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02523nam 22008413 450 001 9910987818403321 005 20250905110045.0 010 $a2-8076-1682-8 010 $a2-8076-1681-X 024 7 $a10.3726/b18463 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6819808 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6819808 035 $a(CKB)19968783100041 035 $a(OCoLC)1287129151 035 $a(PPN)260816655 035 $a(Perlego)3536921 035 $a(ODN)ODN0007993127 035 $a(EXLCZ)9919968783100041 100 $a20211206d2021 uy 0 101 0 $afre 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAnalyse du Discours et Comparaison 210 1$aBrussels :$cP.I.E. - Peter Lang SA Éditions Scientifiques Internationales,$d2021. 210 4$d©2021. 215 $a1 online resource (352 pages) 225 1 $aEtudes Contrastives / Contrastive Studies ;$vv.16 311 08$a2-8076-1683-6 311 08$a2-8076-1680-1 330 $aL'analyse du discours contrastive fait converger la comparaison des discours dans différentes langues et cultures.
