Prioritising the practical over the technical, Modern Systems Analysis and Design presents the concepts, skills, methodologies, techniques, tools, and perspectives essential for systems analysts to develop information systems.

創投家為什麼最想知道商業模式?企業營運為什麼無法持續盈利?轉型變革為什麼不知道從何下手?「商業模式」是營運思考必備工具只要有組織,就會有商業模式。優異的商業模式會促使組織快速成長;糟糕的商業模式則會讓最具前途的創投公司注定失敗。任何經營公司的人,不論事業是否成功,都知道顧客、供應商、員工、資源、資金與夢想之間的關聯性。本書提供了一個架構,讓你能以視覺化方式設計並評估你的夢想,也會讓你看到你需要填補的空白處有多大。◎為你的組織量身設計「商業模式」商業模式是以地圖或故事呈現的設計,這些要素集中圍繞在資源、交易、價值創造,當這些要素達成協調、彼此相互配合,便能產生前後一致且說服力十足的敘事,而商業模式就有可能持續進行:(1)資源:是商業模式的原料。記得檢視在你的組織中,有哪些關鍵資源?不論是資產、知識或能力,都必須詳細列出可以取得和必要的資源。(2)交易:是連結的樞紐,指的是連結、結合、交換各項資源。其中,「跨界交易」最為重要,例如向客戶銷售商品、跟供應商買原料,都屬於跨界交易。如果想要評估商業模式,可以從這開始下手。(3)價值:商業模式只有在能「創造」並獲取「價值」時才算成功,因此組織必須要將資源和交易中所蘊含的價值變現並獲取,才能夠獲益、存續及興盛。(4)敘事:優異的商業模式會訴說前後一致、說服力十足,也能實行的故事。當敘事將資源、交易、價值連結在一起時,商業模式本身便能達成協調一致。對一致性的概念有所了解後,就能打造出商業模式地圖和商業模式圖。該如何把資源、交易與創造價值用敘事巧妙地連結起來?需要哪些工具?什麼架構?怎樣打造?如何調整?◎你的商業模式資源夠SHaRP嗎?1.專業化(Specialised):同樣都是MP3隨身聽,蘋果的iPod為何可以擁有75%的市占率?2.難以複製(Hard to copy):可口可樂的優勢在於,具有他人難以複製的商業機密。3.罕見(Rare):稀少的資源指的可以是資產、不尋常的知識和獨特的能力。4.寶貴(Precious):有價值的資源是實際可行產品與服務的基石。◎在不同的時機,你可以採取不同的三種基本工具:1.創業前:你可以利用「RTVN架構」洞察商機。2.對於剛起步的事業:「精實畫布」協助你探索最成功的商業模式。3.成長公司:「OBMC商業模式地圖」有效發揮企業中的資源與能力。商業模式是判斷組織是否可長期維持下去的唯一最佳指標

未來新加坡執政黨會否開啟國家民主化新時代?旅港新加坡學者之城邦國家政治沉思錄• 新加坡的威權管治模式正處於何種困境?• 為何新加坡執政黨崇尚精英主義,卻會利用民粹主義,以應對社會聲音?• 為何新加坡執政黨需要主動開啟國家民主化新時代?後李光耀時代的新加坡政治,一直受各界注視。在二〇二〇年大選,新加坡人民行動黨依然贏得選舉,繼續執政,但其得票率下降約百分之十,反對黨所得國會議席數目增至歷史新高,共得十席。對於未來新加坡政治會有何種走向,各界分析未有定論。評論者間漸有的共識是,新加坡管治模式已現暗湧,人民行動黨政府需要變革,以應對新的國家政治氣候轉變。新加坡未來政治想像,可概分為兩類:第一類,以人民行動黨為中心;第二類,以新加坡社會為中心。《威權政治之困境——新加坡未來政治想像》的兩位作者、新加坡學者施仁喬(Cherian George)與劉浩典(Donald Low)主張前者。他們肯定人民行動黨過去的治績,亦認為未來新加坡國家發展仍能受益於其強有力的管治風格,故此他們在《威權政治之困境——新加坡未來政治想像》之中,直指人民行動黨政府治國方式的各種弊端,希望喚起其善意,使之明白,建構更為平等與公義的社會,發展更為民主與公平的政經制度,拓展政治多元空間,增強政府的問責度,皆合乎新加坡的國家乃至執政黨利益。他們相信,若然人民行動黨政府能夠及早利用其管治優勢,自內而外推動變革,從執政黨乃至國家前途角度看,這都將會是最佳情景。在新加坡之內,《威權政治之困境——新加坡未來政治想像》的觀點不一定會盡得掌聲,但在華文世界之中,這是立足於新加坡本土、理解新加坡政治生態特質與轉變的重要參考文本。專文推薦P•W•普雷斯頓(P.
