Undersökning av elektroniska scorekort på golfmarknaden
Var ligger problemet för fortsatt utveckling?
This is a Master´s Thesis based on my own idea instead of that of a company. It is a survey that focuses on finding out more about which part of the development process that is blocking the establishment of electronic scorecards on the golf market. Why has it not been introduced on the market in a larger scale yet, considering the technology we possess today? This question is investigated through interviews with the Swedish Golf association, and three companies that have chosen different paths to implement an electronic scorecard. The interviews focuses on finding out what developers and the association believe to be the main problem, before taking the next step in releasing electronic scorecards on a larger scale. Another thing that has been a core in this survey is to always try to look on systems and how they were created from a usability point of view, to see and understand why systems look and function the way they do.The results of the interviews were interpreted with four different keywords in mind: unit, usability and interface, the market and useful functions. This Master´s Thesis does not give a final solution to how to solve the problems in the systems we have today. Instead it raises interesting questions, which can be worth take into account for future development. The main goal is to give a helping hand to developers and the Swedish Golf association, to make the future of electronic scorecards brighter.
