Recommended: Competitive analysis of uber

Ever since the idea of Uber have been created , the near global car-hailing app, have been published in 2011, the taxi fleet's days have seemed numbered. Uber is not the only new source of competition for taxis. But, it is even another source of having extra money other than your job. The new statistics allow for an opening answer to the enormous debated question of whether Uber is merely filling the gap in an artificially under-served market,as the company claims, or whether it's army of part-time drivers is displacing full-time holder, as the taxi industry maintain. Although, Uber has not shared statistics for 2013, a leak to Business insider last year have revealed an average of 140,000 Uber trips per week in the city during December 2013. While Uber expanded approximately tenfold over the past two years, from a bit-over an estimated 300,000 rides in June 2013 to 3.5m in June 2015, yellow cabs' hail volume has fallen by 2.1m during the same period. A further indication that Uber bears significant responsibility for the drop in cab hails is that the decline is …show more content…

The competition ends with jealousy and envious from one side. That side is the taxi companies because, they’ve been starting losing many money and firing many labors and selling some capital. Additionally, the Uber business is now one of the most famous businesses other than “Ali baba”. The article that is related to this type of article is, about how online businesses like “Ali baba”or“e-bay”.

    ““Well, they had a point. You are fat and disgusting!” The therapist announced. Patricia was sobbing, eyes red and nose runny...“Come on… Let’s go. We aren’t putting up with that!” her father...opened the door and ushered the family through. The therapist just observed and no more was heard from him…[Her nervous breakdown] was a result of long term bullying leading to an episode of being run out of school by a gang of boys. They threatened to kill her with a crowbar, sticks and wooden planks. She felt like a hunted fox” (shazwellyn.hubpages.com). No matter how hard a parent might try to help their child, whether they’re being bullied or are the bully, the consequences should not fall on the people who raise them because the victims have to do what they can to make up for what they’ve done or what they’ve suffered. The city of Monona, Wisconsin has proposed a new law that tickets and fines the parents for failing to respond properly to their child’s poor behavior. A behavioral and personal change consulting specialist, Mr. Michael Harmann, hypothesized that bullying behavior is typically an effort to cover up the bully's own vulnerability. It's a primitive mindset that wants to make you pay when you show vulnerability and since bullying mostly occurs under the legal age, that’s enough to say that higher levels of authority don’t have control over the thoughts and actions that bullies use as an outlet for their own pain because it goes against the Constitution. The key to helping the children we feel so sorry for is to heal the bully before he turns into a monster and the only way to help the perpetrator is to make him face his motivation to bully. “If you think about it, a great strategy to avoid being rejected is to reject everyon...

  • What Is The Weaknesses Of The Fare Share By Jonathan Kay

    730 Words  | 2 Pages

    Jonathan Kay’s “Fare Share” has many weaknesses that make his argument not effective when writing his article. Kay’s argument talks about how Uber is stealing taxi drivers of their livelihoods and how Uber is taking over the taxi monopoly. Weaknesses found in this article was when Jonathan Kay makes Uber look bad when talking about their flashy app which seems to kind of promote it even more, and with a little more research he can find other taxi apps. To add on he seems to write it very tongue-in-cheek. Furthermore, Kay also lacks evidence to support what he says because some of his arguments are weak and basic. Another weakness would be that he left the reader wondering what he is trying to prove in his argument about Uber, he seems to be all over the place with his argument. Overall, this was a weakly written article.

  • Blue Ocean Strategy: An Analysis Of The Blue Ocean Strategy

    917 Words  | 2 Pages

    IT has provided the tools that have enabled companies to simplify their processes, and when done right, allowing them to greatly improve customer experience, which is part of what should lead to profitability. But, as the tools become more accessible and affordable, small businesses and start-ups are able to compete with bigger, established corporations. This, in my opinion, leads to too many players in the field. So companies, big and small, have to find ways to differentiate themselves from the competition. This is where the challenge of innovation comes in. As companies research and develop their products and services, the innovations that arise from that will either be sustaining or disruptive. When a disruptive innovation comes along, it creates a new market, and although profits will most likely be low in the beginning, once it’s adopted by the mainstream, it will overtake the existing market. In the same manner, established (old) business models can be infused with new life, even becoming disruptive, with the application of new innovative technologies. Uber is a perfect example of how a company applied the innovations in information technology to create a disruptive strategy that is redefining an old business model. Apple has become the model company for how to successfully employ disruption in a business strategy in the long-term. Not only did Apple disrupt the music industry with iTunes and the iPod, but they self-disrupted with the iPhone, and how its sales have overtaken the

    What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.

  • Reducing Traffic Congestion

    1505 Words  | 4 Pages

    Economies thrive on the ability of mobility. Mobility allows people to go to work, attend school and travel far and wide by using some form of transportation. It allows people and ideas to mix more freely. Over time, mobility has taken many forms, from the backs of animals, to carriages and now the automobile. Since the invention of the automobile, we have been able to decrease transportation costs, travel vast distances and decrease travel times. We are able to facilitate relationships, foster trade between places and find better jobs. However, due to the inaccurate pricing of the roads, driving cars has turned from an innovation to pure frustration. The problem is traffic congestion; the increased usage of cars has created slower speeds and longer travel times due to greater demand for the road than the road has to offer. Roughly 3.4 million Americans endure extreme commutes, in which the trip to work and back eats up at least three hours of each day (Balaker, Staley 2006). Congestion slows life down by causing massive delays, eating away at valuable time and productivity. This has become a major issue because people are stuck in traffic when they do not need to be and conditions will only continue to get worse without government intervention. Many solutions have been offered and discussed but few have been implemented. This paper will serve to outline the economic theory behind traffic congestion, alternative policy options there are for dealing with traffic congestion and ultimately what the best strategy is to solve this problem. The solution I propose is to price the highways accurately to achieve the optimum number of vehicles on the road.
