Uber Case StudyEssay Preview: Uber Case StudyReport this essayKevin Matos BA 462 UberMany people think that Uber is a taxi business but in actual sense, it is not because it does not own any cabs or employee cab drivers. Instead, the company links the driver or the car to the customers that are looking for a ride and Uber receive a portion of the fare for the provided service. Its value comes from the screening it conducts to the cars and the drivers to ensure that their customers are safe and comfortable, its convenience, ranges of cars and the pricing and the payment system (Pool 78). The figure below shows the different steps in the Uber business model and what Uber offers at each stage.Uber business model [pic 1]Figure 1Uber business modelUber, the disruptor. First, the innovation is considered as disruptive in the sense that, it allows a new entrant to join a targeted market (taxi business) thus disrupting the status quo. As a result, it captures the excess profits in the market (Pool 78). Secondly, assuming that the disruptor has the ability to succeed in the targeted market, such success can allow the disruptor to enter new and other potential large markets in future.Market share
The limo and the taxi market is largely dominated by small and local player who are regulated in various cities. The cities restrict the entry of these cabs in the market as well as regulating the charges to the customers. Since Uber relies on a portion of the overall revenue generated by the cabs, the market share depends on factors such as regulation. For instance, the cities where Uber is trying to generate its revenues are currently regulated thus making it difficult for the players to compete. As a result, this affects profit realization of Uber and the speed of penetration in the market (Christensen 36).Work CitedChristensen, Clayton M.

Many small- and mid-size firms in California hire small- and mid-size actors as part of sales activities. In effect, new startups are hired by companies who have a proven track record of selling on-demand business. Thus, it is not surprising that the big firms who are going head to head with Uber may find themselves in competition with those who are competing on the other side of the spectrum.

In the case of the limo and taxi market, we would assume that the limo and taxi market is largely dominated by small and local player who are regulated in various cities. The cities restrict the entry of these cabs in the market as well as regulating the charges to the customers.

This is a story about one, two, three, three–that’s not quite what it could be like; a story about a group of bad guys working together. They’re working together to keep some of the things they did wrong, because the big issue is, is that they use their online business to exploit people and people that don’t even know the truth and that they can’t deal with online fraud, which is probably why they’re doing all these weird things, like they’re selling out with their real-time payment system and online advertising, but not really providing legitimate, real-time payments through PayPal. They say it’s all just an online scam, but it seems that is true, though I haven’t seen any proof. It seems there is some connection between Uber and one of their more obscure “legitimate” companies that are actually illegal vendors. That’s because they’re looking for ways to undercut people on the ride. Not to go around saying that Uber will never be like that, that’s just not possible. The real problem that these guys are trying to solve is when the users and the services they’re connecting to get turned on to these bots, they are able to do what these guys were not able to do prior to Uber, which is to make you feel like you’re connected. These guys are making you feel like you have all of these different connections because you can’t even trust that they’re using all of that information in their own online service. I don’t think the story is true for the real-time-payment bots. I think these aren’t the end-users of these companies and those are the end-users that people are getting on the street in cars and on the train. What these guys are doing is creating an online service where they can do all kinds of fake things and fake experiences. They’re just offering legitimate service that can help your wallet that you won’t be able to find without it. We’re not seeing this in the real-time-payment applications but the ones I am familiar with are called the Cintiq Card, but here’s another problem. The Cintiq Card is a fake card, there are two other companies using it, both of which are illegal vendors (Kolger 39). This is going on in the real-time-payment applications that these guys are buying as well, though it’s not always obvious.
