The document proposes a Backyard Breeders mobile application that would allow gamefowl breeders to manage their farms online. Key features of the app include creating records for breeding pairs, eggs, chicks, growing pens, gamefowl stocks and prices. The app aims to address issues faced by breeders such as unorganized documents, insecure storage, high costs and errors in data encoding. Studies on record keeping, paperless systems and social media marketing were reviewed as being relevant to improving farm management and sales. The proposal deserves to be selected as the group's capstone project given the large cockfighting industry in the Philippines and opportunity to easily reach customers interested in buying gamefowl online.

The Impact of Record Keeping On the
Performance of Selected Small and
Medium Enterprises in Lagos Metropolis
 The responders seem to recognize the significance of record-
keeping and its beneficial influence on the company. At the same
time, respondents believe that the main advantages of maintaining
proper records know the firm's performance and that record-
keeping is critical to the firm's success. The majority of SME
operators lack basic accounting expertise and are concerned about
the cost of preparing financial statements; therefore, they keep the
records themselves and, in most cases, manually. Due to a lack of
appropriate record keeping (e.g., resource mismanagement and
inadequate financial management), the cost of company failure far
outweighs the cost of producing a suitable record for any company
concern.

Implementing a Paperless System
for Small and Medium-Sized
Businesses (SMBs)
 Paper-based workplaces are inefficient, expensive, and
risky. Paperless environments, on the other hand, provide
several advantages to companies, including enhanced data
security, ease of information exchange, and more efficient
and cost-effective operations. Organizations planning on
going paperless have several options, including document
digitalization, web portals, electronic forms, and electronic
document management systems.

Gaining Trust in the Digital Age: The Potential
of Social Media for Increasing the
Competitiveness of Small and Medium
Enterprises
 Future marketing plans should significantly involve the
formation of transparent, dynamic, and open online
communities, followed by active participation by a
company. Researchers believe that such an approach
would be very consistent with and beneficial to the efficacy
of existing legislative actions that encourage the
production of credence-based products. With the right
marketing efforts, it is possible to develop customer trust
in the form of purchase intents, providing the required
price premiums for SMEs.

Compliance with accounting standards by
SMEs in transitional economies: Evidence
from Vietnam
 The primary element influencing SMEs' compliance
with accounting standards was legal requirements.
Accounting skills and infrastructure were lacking in
SMEs, making it challenging to apply accounting
requirements and standards. The accountants were
not satisfied with the costs and benefits of
implementing the accounting rules.

Growth Challenges of SMEs: Empirical
Evidence in Sabah, Malaysia
 This research identifies five major obstacles confronting

marketing strategy, facilities, appliances, and layout, and
supplier issues. One strategy for overcoming growth
obstacles is to fully utilise the initiatives made by the
government and its agencies.

Proposed Project
Similarities:
 There is no similarity in the previous study.
Differences:
 Researchers propose that the best way to overcome growth
obstacles is to fully exploit the efforts put in place by the
government and its agencies. To be a successful entrepreneur,
you must be aware of and have tight working connections with
government authorities and have good networking with key
stakeholders. On the other hand, policymakers should focus on
the five major barriers to guarantee that SMEs are more
competitive, which would increase wealth creation and social
well-being in the country. In contrast, my proposal is a farm
monitoring and selling game fowls online. The admin can easily
manage and update it online without hassle, and no need to
hire an additional employee to assist with his backyard farm.

Time to upskill SMEs
 A shortage of human resources has long been a
concern for the country's SMEs. It has never been
simple for SMEs to find qualified employees at
reasonable rates. The shortage of competent
personnel is a major issue for SMEs.

Similarities:
 There is no similarity in the previous study.
Differences:
 Researchers suggest that the government agencies
may collaborate with industry/trade organizations and
chambers of commerce to assess SMEs' training
requirements and provide training and upskilling
programs to meet those requirements. In contrast, my

Similarities:
 Using Information Technology to be mode of service.
Differences:
 This study proposes two solutions to these issues. One is to
increase healthcare professionals' household earnings. Another
goal is to increase the involvement of the private sector in
delivering healthcare services. For example, supporting private
healthcare practices through the country's social health
insurance system or a comparable voucher program may give
more incentives for healthcare practitioners to work in
disadvantaged areas. In contrast, my proposal is a farm
monitoring and selling game fowls online. The admin can easily
manage and update it online without hassle, and no need to
hire an additional employee to assist with his backyard farm.

Assessment of the legibility of the handwriting in
medical prescriptions of doctors from public and
private hospitals in Quezon City, Philippines
 According to studies, the bulk of pharmaceutical mistakes can be
ascribed to doctors' handwriting illegibility. This research assesses the
readability of doctors' handwriting in both private and public
hospitals in Quezon City, Philippines. The outcome demonstrates that
the assessors' misinterpretations of the prescriptions were recorded.
An analysis of variance was then performed on the factors that
substantially influenced doctors' handwriting legibility (ANOVA).
According to the results of the testing, the doctors' handwriting is
comparable regardless of expertise.

34. Why do you think
this proposal
deserves to be the
group's capstone
project?
THESE DESERVE TO BE THE GROUP
CAPSTONE PROJECTS BECAUSE
COCKFIGHTING IN THE PHILIPPINES IS A
BOOMING BILLION-DOLLAR INDUSTRY.
THE POPULAR COCKFIGHTING
COMPETITION TAKES PLACE IN
APPROXIMATELY 2500 DEDICATED
STADIUMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WHERE
AN ESTIMATED 30 MILLION ROOSTERS ARE
KILLED EACH YEAR (PHILLIFE, 2018). SO
MANY PEOPLE ENGAGE IN THIS GAME, SO
SELLING GAME-FOWL ACROSS THE
INTERNET IS SO EASY TO REACHOUT THE
CUSTOMERS.
