Description
Summary:Most stock exchanges provide stock price quotation through market watch service. Since stock prices change every second; investors have to observe the change throughout the trading session in order to make the right decision at the appropriate moment. However, accessing this service has limitation, where it is only available through the brokerage firms' screens as well as online computer. Since there is a tremendous need to access information regarding the stock prices, an alternative way of accessing the information is required. This arises when the investors are not able to be at the brokerage firm, or contact their brokers or access the information about the stock through online computer. Mobile technology and wireless communication have been identified as potential alternatives since they are able to fulfill the need of the investors through ubiquitous service. This study discusses a prototype Mobile-Based Stock Exchange (MBSE) and simplifies ubiquitously accessing online stock exchange through mobile devices. MBSEwas developed for stock exchange market watch. The results of user evaluation on the MBSE indicate that it has been rated highly in terms of The Usefulness, Ease of Use, Information Quality, Functionality, Interface Quality, Design/Layout and Outcome/Future Use. Moreover, the results also indicate that there is no significant difference between novices and experts for MBSE users in most measured dimensions.
