“…A better coordination of both business and ICT strategies will help having the ICT strategies determining and driving the business strategy (Cuenca & Ortiz, 2011). A number of authors make the case that this approach should be more present in the university classrooms (Guidry, 2014). An analysis of system's approach taught in universities is provided by (Gray, 1989).…”

“…Since assessing how far the students have achieved the learning outcomes is an important element in teaching and learning, some researchers conducted studies in formative assessment [13] and summative assessment [14] in systems analysis and design course. Another research direction is to study the course contents [15], [16] and the perceptions of educators and practitioners on the importance of skills and knowledge being taught in a systems analysis and design course and the class time devoted to each [2], [17]. Manuscript Although considerable research has been conducted in systems analysis and design course, studies on investigating its relationship with other courses are still very rare.…”

Systems analysis and design is a complex and challenging process. In order to prepare information systems (IS) major students for employment, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Association for Information Systems (AIS) developed the IS 2010 Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Programme in Information Systems which identify the systems analysis and design course as one of the seven core courses in an IS undergraduate curriculum. This study aims to investigate the impact of student performance in Systems Analysis and Design course on the learning of an advanced information systems development methodology course. In addition to a thorough discussion on the findings, limitations of the study and further research were identified.Index Terms-Systems analysis and design, information systems development methodology, gender difference, information systems.

“…According to Woratscheck and Lenox (2007), education and prior work experience are important for both entry level and experienced systems analyst. Also, the quality of education that systems analysts receive can determine the level of expertise they will have when they enter the workforce (Guidry & Stevens, 2014;Woratschek & Lenox, 2002).…”

“…After surveying the IS faculty in the AACSB accredited schools in the US, the authors reported that IS faculty disagreed on the importance of object oriented analysis and structured analysis in the curriculum in spite of the fact that professors spend more time on these two areas. Also, Guidry and Stevens (2014) sought to find out if there are any differences in how academics and practitioners perceive the SA&D course. Using a survey of SA&D faculty at AACSB accredited business schools in the US and practitioners from Canada, UK, South Africa, and 24 states within the US, they found that, practitioners believe that more time should be spent on structured analysis topics.…”

This study investigates the skill sets necessary for entry level systems analysts. Towards this end, the study combines two sources of data, namely, a content analysis of 200 systems analysts' online job advertisements and a survey of 20 senior Information Systems (IS) professionals. Based on Chi-square tests, the results reveal that most employers prefer entry level systems analysts with an undergraduate Computer Science degree. Furthermore, most of the employers prefer entry level systems analysts to have some years of experience as well as industry certifications. The results also reveal that there is a higher preference for entry level systems analysts who have non-technical and people skills (e.g., problem solving and oral communication). The empirical results from this study will inform IS educators as they develop future systems analysts. Additionally, the results will be useful to the aspiring systems analysts who need to make sure that they have the necessary job skills before graduating and entering the labor market.
