Systems Analysis Texts for non IS majors

I am hoping that someone can help me by suggesting a good student
text aimed at teaching systems analysis to non IS majors. Most
of my students will become accountants or some other management
professional. They need IS knowledge and skills, yet most
texts that I have seen are aimed at IS majors. For example,
most seem to assume that a system will be designed and built
rather than an application package acquired. I would like to
find a text which recognizes the major alternatives, but also
includes the traditional SDLC and associated techniques and
skills. It is a huge market so surely there is a good book
or two out there that maybe just has not been marketed to 
this part of the world?
