In this Closer Look, we examine the roles that leadership and culture play in contributing to chronic misbehavior and the manner in which it takes root in an organization. We use the example of Uber Technologies. Between 2012 and 2017, Uber Technologies faced a series of governance challenges including regulatory battles, relations with drivers, intellectual property theft, cybersecurity breaches, allegations of sexual harassment, and boardroom battles. We discuss these in detail and ask:
• Did Uber’s early risk-seeking behavior cause larger problems down the road?
• How important is CEO personality and behavior in influencing the collective behavior of an organization?
• How difficult is it to change culture, once it is established?
• To what extent is culture created top down and to what extent bottom up?
• Does Uber need a substantial turnover of management and key non-management employees to successfully complete a cultural shift?

In 2012 Norman Witte found himself living in Detroit, unemployed with a dead car. With no means to replace it, Witte learned alternate ways to get around the city as he continued to look for employment. The process, he said, involved navigating the city's public transportation system and learning to be a good cyclist. More than a year later, Witte, now a web developer at Crain's Detroit Business, is continuing his car-less life in the city, but this time out of choice.

Cooperative Collision Avoidance via Proximal Message PassingLyft
We propose a distributed model predictive controller to cooperatively solve the collision avoidance problem for a set of vehicles. The method, called proximal message passing, is completely decentralized and needs no global coordination other than synchronizing iterations, allowing us to solve the avoidance problem extremely efficiently and in parallel.

Everything has already been said about Uber. Or has it? Both fascinating and repulsive, closely watched by the media and politicians, the Californian unicorn’s growth model hasn’t been spared any sort of criticism.
And yet, valued at $68 billion, the firm mesmerizes VCs as never seen before and inspires every week countless articles, op-eds, infographics and columns – not including numerous bills… It’s because, just like the whole digital revolution, Uber questions every habit, system, model and belief.
In order to go beyond these debates, FABERNOVEL offers an analysis devoid of any political or ideological consideration, a study to understand Uber’s growth model – that we see as viral – and to delve as much as possible into its success factors.

Analysis UBER's strategy.
1. Define the problem UBER has tried to solve. (from both supplier and consumer's points of view)
2. Transportation industry(Taxi) before UBER
3. How UBER business actually works
4. Their international strategy
5. Five forces analysis
6. Challenges and suggestions
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for Uber’s taxi service. Uber’s service enables anyone to provide taxi services and it provides dynamic pricing for better matching of supply and demand. Its value proposition for potential drivers is the opportunity to work as driver on their own hours. Its value proposition for user to lower taxi fares during most times of the day and a higher supply of taxis (and higher prices) during peak demand. The customers are tech-savvy and smart phone users who value their time. Uber receives payments directly from customers and keeps a percentage of these payments as its income. Uber’s patents for a demand-price algorithm represent a barrier of entry and thus a method of strategic control.

STRENGTHS
The name Uber is synonymous with the ride service market. Uber has enjoyed and capitalized upon first to market advantages. Although Uber isn’t a market disrupter by the strictest definition, as some have ascribed to it, it has completely changed the ride service market, which has long been dominated by cab companies (Christensen, Raynor, & McDonald, 2015). Uber has distinct advantages over traditional cab companies, where in many cities; expensive tokens are required to operate (Salmon, 2011). The tokens also serve to limit the fleet of cabs available, which is not in the best interest of consumers. Consumers have noticed this, and as such have voted with their wallets. Uber drivers use their own vehicles, which makes for a large fleet. This means supply is not a limiting factor. Unlike cab companies, Uber does not have employees, rather it has independent contractors. This helps reduce overhead costs even more, which are already low. This allows Uber to pass along better pay to drivers, and better rates to consumers (Worstall, 2014). In addition to saving money, consumers benefit from the user friendly nature of being able to pull out a smart phone, and have a driver there to pick them up within minutes. Other conveniences include the ease of payment via the app, a rating system that allows users to select highly rated drivers, and customers can choose the level of service (SUV, taxi, black car, etc.….). Although there is much debate about exactly what Uber’s current value is, there is no debate about whether or not it is a successful and valuable company. This makes it an attractive company for many investors. In fact, earlier this year Uber raised $3.5 billion from the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund (Konrad, 2016). All signs point to Uber being primed for expansion into new markets.
WEAKNESSES
Uber’s business process and product are simple and easily replicated, and there is nothing Uber can do to stop competitors from eating into their market share (Chan, 2015). Uber may have gained a first mover advantage in the ride sharing market, but with no barriers to entry, the market will become even more competitive. Internationally, Uber has shown a weak knowledge of local markets. As evidenced by the recent sale of Uber China to local rival Didi Chuxing, local strategies are required for local markets (Somerville, 2016). Uber tried to use strategies that were successful in other markets and rushed entry into China and Indonesia without an understanding of the culture, business dynamics and consumers (Somerville, 2016). Uber has already made significant investments in their technology and research and development, and have undergone a trial and error period that new startups will not have to endure because they can learn from Uber’s mistakes and costs to their reputation. Bei ...
Uber has consistently claimed that it is a digital marketplace connecting drivers, mostly non-professionals, with riders. This has meant that Uber has till now had a lighter regulatory burden.
But there should be a ruling such that Uber is a company providing transport services, and so Uber is required to adhere to the rules and regulations applicable to traditional taxi services.
The presentation describes the business model canvas of UBER as a part of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Module wherein the Problems faced by UBER is mentioned along with the Recommendations which they can follow in order to improve the companies performance.
Whats exactly wrong with Uber - Legal Issues in Marketplace Services Business...Rahul Dev
Uber’s real problem is conflict of interest. Uber operates (or pretends to operate) and legally structures itself as a technology company but ends up providing taxi services, without obtaining required licenses and permits as required by local laws of each city.

I. Overview of Uber
Uber is a ride sharing company that was launched in San Francisco in 2010 when UberCab connected its first rider with a town car for a ride across the city (Uber.com). The company was designed to allow consumers to hail a ride from local drivers with the simple push of a button (using an app), and has since disrupted the taxi cab industry. The inception of Uber brought new technology and ideas into a transportation sector historically lacking in innovation and customer service. The company’s founders saw an opportunity to use technologies such as smartphones, GPS and Google Maps to improve transportation and the result has been a more convenient, faster and cheaper service.
Uber is headquartered in San Francisco, California and operates by charging consumers for rides. This is primarily how the company generates revenue (although they do participate in some advertising on their website). The Uber app facilitates the location of a driver and the transfer of funds. The fare is then charged to the consumer’s credit card (Investopedia.com, 2018). Uber quickly raised money and launched operations in hundreds of cities; it is now in over 65 countries and cities worldwide. Last year, Uber announced it had completed 4 billion trips (15 million trips are completed each day) (Uber.com).
Since 2010, Uber’s service offerings have become quite expansive. Although they initially offered only full service luxury vehicles, now when hailing a ride consumers have choices such as Uber Pool, Uber X, Uber XL and Uber Black. These choices were non-existent previously with taxi cab companies. More recently, Uber has entered other markets such as the food delivery business. They now offer services such as UberEATs which delivers food from local restaurants (Ubereats.com, 2018).
To understand Uber’s main competitors and market structure, it is important to understand some of the history behind taxi companies, especially in major cities. Taxi cab drivers had a monopoly prior to Uber entering in many cities such as New York. In 1937, New York City passed the Haas Act which established a licensing system to influence supply. The system required taxi drivers to purchase a medallion in order to operate. The government sells limited numbers of medallions which allows them to control competition and entry into the market. This is at the expense of consumers since it restricts supply and keeps costs high. Despite a growing population, the number of available medallions has remained partially fixed, only increasing marginally. Taxi drivers with a medallion enjoy high profits and have fewer incentives to ensure satisfaction. Today, the number of medallions in New York City remains capped, maintaining a barrier to entry.
After Uber launched in New York City, the prices of medallions dropped significantly; this has be.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

TECHNOLOGY VS. TRANSPORTATION
This development may well impact Uber Canada’s argument
that it’s a technology company, not a cab company. As a taxi
company, they would be subject to stringent industry
standards.
4. Insurance is a major issue of contention for Uber. If the
company doesn’t cover the cost, the burden would be on
drivers to meet the requirements of various municipal by-laws
and endorsements to carry passengers.
WHO SHOULDERS THE BURDEN?
