Problems Being Investigated

• The field of Systems Analysis and Design (SAD) has never been taxonomically defined

• (Osborne and Nakamura, 2000)

• Published scholarship in SAD appears to be interdisciplinary but has never been explicitly documented as such

• (Whitten, et. al., 2001; Machlup and Mansfield, 1983)

• There do not appear to be firm bibliographic or bibliometric analyses of the published literature in SAD

• (Jank, 2004)
