users who are searching for eatery). The innovation highlights on local knowledge crowd sourced from the participation of locals through ramification activities included in the mobile app. In achieving the aim, the design science
methodology was adapted in this study which consists of 4 phases: (i) Awareness of Problem, (ii) Suggestion, (iii) Evaluation, and (iv) Conclusion. The proposed business model was developed through a few activities including literature review, comparative study and preliminary study. Then, the study continued with
developing a prototype known as Makan@Local Chatok (M@LC) app and evaluated the app in terms of its usability aspects. Results from the usability
testing concludes that the app is perceived as easy to use. It was also found that the proposed business model has been well-accepted by users. In conclusion, it is hoped that this study will not only demonstrate the potential and impact of
mobile eatery recommendation system using local knowledge, but also provide a capstone on business research in the field of tourism industry. |
