Full textBackground: There are statistics that point out the fact that less people in Sweden today gets a drivers license. This is believed to lead to an increase in taxi services and public transport. In todays society technical innovation has become a big part of people’s lives and this is something the IT-company Uber has taken advantage of. They have developed a digital platform were drivers and customers can connect with each other trough an application. Uber has a big number of drivers all over the world that is managed by minimal direct communication. The thesis will analyse how Uber ensure the quality of their services and how that comperes to other Swedish taxi companies quality control. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how a platform company like Uber works with quality management compared to how other Swedish taxi companies insure the quality of the service. Methodology: The thesis is based on a qualitative method with a deductive approach and a realistic perspective. The study includes three respondents. The collected data was processed and analysed using thematic analysis and then it was interpreted. Finally, conclusions were drawn from the results and the analysed material. Result: The thesis shows that the various taxi companies seem to define quality in a similar manner. The customer’s expectations of quality and the different companies quality requirements appear to be consistent throughout all of the companies. However, the taxi companies differ in how they ensure that the drivers meet the quality the companies have defined as important. The study has been able to distinguish that quality control differs depending on the taxi companies size and the market in which they operate. The results also suggests that the way to satisfy customers expectations for taxi service today seem to be working with technological innovation. The thesis also shows that the differences in quality work seem to depend on the size of the company, not the business model.

As part of standard business cycles, new technologies continue to emerge that disrupt industries and capture market share from stagnant incumbents. In the trucking industry, Uber for Freight (UFF) is one of these innovative business models. Loosely defined as platforms which seek to more efficiently match shippers' loads with truck drivers, these companies are seeking to 'uberize' freight transport through algorithm-based applications. By eliminating the middleman of a carrier or broker, these startups' value proposition is cost savings and increased efficiency gained through a frictionless interface. While process automation has its upsides, many industry veterans have questioned the potential success of this business model. Furthermore, experts have expressed uncertainty regarding the operational mechanics of an UFF company as well as the true distinction between UFF and a traditional broker. This research seeks to address these questions about the UFF model by first developing a clear description of its players and processes, compiled based on interviews with existing companies in this space. Secondly, this research determines that UFF is best classified as a subdivision of brokers, providing similar services through a different business model that eliminates some degree of human intervention. More than simply automation, UFF provides additional benefits through its rating system and efficient payment processes. As a case study, this research then investigates the applicability of UFF within a specific company. The sponsor company, a large, multinational chemical company, maintains an extensive product offering that reaches customers across almost all industries. These products vary widely in format, hazardous material classification and service level requirements. Based on interviews with sponsor company representatives across functions and geographies, this research examines the challenges and benefits of incorporating UFF into a company's transportation strategy. From these learnings, it was recommended that UFF be implemented gradually, starting on a U.S. lane that transports non-hazardous products with lower service level requirements. If safety and service levels prove satisfactory, the sponsor company can scale accordingly to more complex products or lanes. While UFF has clear benefits and disruptive potential, it must be utilized with the appropriate products and customers; it is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Technologic innovation is inevitable. Regulation, optional. All over the world, economic trends emerge every moment. Regarding the individual transport system of passengers, focus of this work, sharing economy brought paradigmatic disruptions, as occurred with the arrival of Uber device that offers similar services to taxis and promises to reduce ― or even eliminate ― existing market failures for years. Taxi Market is known for taxis upregulation, and until then, little competition and low consumer satisfaction index. Uber´s presence brought greater expectations of quality, but in the opposite direction of the success with users, the regulator follow the following cycle of intervention all over the world: (i) Immediate app’s prohibition; (ii) Uber’s indirect prohibition, according regulation in accordance with the traditional system/ 'a la taxi' (planning permissions and other mechanisms) and (iii) studies to introduction of a specific regulation, that put together technologic benefices and real attendance to public interest. To look more closely to the cycles, this paper analyzed the regulator’s posture in 23 megacities all over the world, according definition of United Nations – UN, that exemplified agent´s conduct in the cities with more than seven million habitants. Faced with said interventions, this paper has concluded that there is a strong regulatory capture in the transport of passenger’s market ― and there was made a theoretical approach of the Public Choice Theory ― since the first and second cycles evidence benefices of small groups of interest in the sector, rather than the mass. Besides that, since technology can reduce problems involving situations of monopolies, asymmetric information and negative externalities, there is no reason to justify the necessity of maintenance of the regulation, already considered excessive in said market. Also, it is worth mentioning that the regulatory actions were directly countered not only by the popular opinion, but mainly by force of judicial decisions all over the world, that by means of preliminary injunctions prevented abrasive reactions of those agents, and that indicates that judiciary sector is not captured. The third cycle of regulatory intervention indicates a way of interconnection between collaborative economies and urban solutions with the objective of the collective benefice. Studies all over the world points the necessity of regulatory alternatives that can conciliate the public interest with the comprehension of the technologic progress. However, to achieve the third cycle of regulation, it is necessary that the regulator abandon the character merely supervisory and assumes a behavior more analytical and proactive, with the objective of finding regulatory alternatives able to bring gains in infrastructure and urbanization.
A inovação tecnológica é inevitável. A regulação, opcional. Ao redor do mundo, tendências econômicas surgem a cada instante. No que tange ao sistema de transporte individual de passageiros, foco do presente trabalho, a economia de compartilhamento trouxe rompimentos paradigmáticos, como o que ocorreu com a chegada do dispositivo Uber, que oferece serviços semelhantes ao de táxis e reduz ― chegando em alguns casos, a eliminar ― falhas de mercado existentes há anos. O mercado de táxis é conhecido pela alta regulação, tendo até então, pouca concorrência e baixo índice de satisfação do consumidor. A presença do Uber trouxe maior expectativa de qualidade, mas em contramão ao sucesso junto aos usuários, o regulador segue o seguinte ciclo de intervenção reguladora, ao redor do mundo: (i) proibição imediata do aplicativo; (ii) proibição indireta do Uber, por meio de regulação feita de acordo com o sistema tradicional/ 'a la táxi' (concessão de alvarás, dentre outros mecanismos) e (iii) estudos para implementação de uma regulação específica, que une os benefícios tecnológicos ao real atendimento do interesse público. Para analisar mais profundamente esses ciclos, estudou-se a postura do regulador em 23 megacidades ao redor do mundo, conforme padrão definido pelas Organização das Nações Unidas – ONU, o que exemplificou a conduta dos agentes em cidades com mais de sete milhões de habitantes. Diante de tais intervenções, chegou-se à conclusão de que existe forte captura regulatória no sistema de transporte de passageiros ― tendo sido feita uma abordagem da Teoria da Escolha Pública ― já que os dois primeiros ciclos apontam benefícios de pequenos grupos de interesse no setor, em detrimento do coletivo. Além disso, se a tecnologia é capaz de reduzir falhas envolvendo situações de monopólios situacionais, assimetrias de informação e externalidades negativas, não haveria outro motivo que justificasse a necessidade na manutenção da regulação, já tida como excedente no mercado em apreço. Válido mencionar que as ações regulatórias foram prontamente combatidas não apenas pela opinião popular, mas principalmente por meio de decisões judiciais ao redor do mundo, que por meio de liminares impediram reações mais abrasivas de tais agentes, e o que aponta que tal setor não se encontra capturado. O terceiro ciclo de intervenção regulatória indica um caminho de interconexão entre as economias de colaboração com medidas urbanas que busquem beneficiar o coletivo. Estudos ao redor do mundo evidenciam a necessidade de alternativas regulatórias que possam conciliar o interesse público com a compreensão da natureza do progresso tecnológico. No entanto, para que se chegue a tal ciclo interventivo, é necessário que o regulador abandone o caráter meramente fiscalizatório e assuma comportamento mais analítico e proativo, no sentido de aplicar alternativas regulatórias que impliquem em medidas que representem ganhos em infraestrutura e urbanização.

Full textShared economy is an economic system based on the share of underutilized goods free of charge or for a fee. With the advent of the internet, the digital platforms based on this concept have been developed, emerging the need of understanding its relationship with two-side markets. This expansion has reached various sectors of the economy, as well as created new demand, such as the Uber platform, which ,however, has generated disturbances in the taxi sector, traditionally regulated with its worldwide recognised inefficiencies. Thus, the goal of this dissertation is to understand what the digital platforms are and to analyse the specific case of Uber company, showing the main factors which allowed this type of business to arise; where we are, defining what Uber effectively is and the services provided by it, addressing the welfare gains provided (consumer surplus) and regulatory problems faced; and where we go, prospecting a path for the shared economy regarding the digital platforms in two-side markets.

Full textBased on a case study built around the analysis of the speeches produced by the various actors in the institutional fields concerned (the field of tourist accommodation for Airbnb, that of passenger transportation for Uber), I seek to highlight the strategies of the platforms to build their place in the social space. I use different analytical grids to understand the strategies implemented by Airbnb and Uber: the dynamics of platform business ecosystems developed by strategic management research, the megamarketing grid defined by Kotler in 1986, neo-institutional theory and its latest developments concerning institutional work and the question of legitimacy. I find that Airbnb and Uber have each mobilized their megamarketing skills in their own way to build their business ecosystem and legitimacy system, which is a real support for their institutional conquest. These different expressions of their strategies are also embodied in the institutional work process, which is oriented towards negotiation for Airbnb and confrontation for Uber. The results of the institutional process have similarities between the two cases: constitution of the legitimacy systems necessary to interpret the role of these two platforms, legal recognition of the activities permitted by the platforms and their producer sides, adjustment of the offers of established professionals. This work provides a glimpse of a platform life cycle model, taking into account the dynamics of these organizational forms and those resulting from institutional work and their quest for legitimacy

The taxi is a means of transport widely used in several countries of the world. An expressive amount of people work by driving taxis in large urban centers. The main competitors of taxi drivers are private cars and mass transportation, but with the rise of technology, and the advent of some commercial innovations have emerged companies that enjoy the context of the Sharing Economy offering services of shared carpool, such as case of Uber. There is discussion as to whether the Uber application really works like shared racing, paid rides or if the service is identical to that offered by conventional taxis. For this reason the application has been strongly rejected by taxi drivers. In this context, this dissertation tries to analyze characteristics of the labor market of taxi drivers and its main objective is to examine the job offer of taxi drivers and to verify if there has been any impact on the quantity of hours worked and on the income of taxi drivers after the start of operations of the Uber application in the Metropolitan Regions of Fortaleza ( MRF) and Porto Alegre (MRPA). For this, two models were estimated, one based on the regressions of mincerian yields and number of hours worked, and a second model using the difference-in-differences method. The data are from the Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego (PED) and refer to the years 2014 to 2016. It was found that the estimated coefficient for the Uber Effect did not present statistical significance in any of the metropolitan regions studied, however, this result refers only to the initial effect and may present different results in future analyzes. Other results have shown that black RMPA taxi drivers tend to show more hours of work and lower hourly yields. Taxi drivers who are heads of their families also work longer hours. The higher the family income of these workers, the more hours are worked in the week and the higher the income per hour. In some of the models estimated for the two metropolitan regions there is an education effect.
O táxi é um meio de transporte bastante utilizado em diversos países do mundo. Uma quantidade expressiva de pessoas trabalham dirigindo táxis nos grandes centros urbanos. Os principais concorrentes dos taxistas são os carros particulares e os meios de transporte em massa, porém com a ascensão da tecnologia, e o advento de algumas inovações comerciais surgiram empresas que usufruem do contexto da Economia de Partilha oferecendo serviços de caronas compartilhadas, como é o caso da empresa Uber. Há a discussão se o aplicativo da Uber funciona realmente como corrida compartilhada, caronas pagas ou se o serviço é idêntico ao oferecido pelos táxis convencionais. Por esse motivo o aplicativo vem sofrendo forte rejeição por parte dos taxistas. Nesse contexto, esta dissertação procura analisar características do mercado de trabalho dos taxistas e tem como objetivo principal examinar a oferta de trabalho dos taxistas e verificar se ocorreu algum impacto sobre a quantidade ofertada de horas trabalhadas e sobre os rendimentos dos taxistas após o inicio das operações do aplicativo Uber nas Regiões Metropolitanas de Fortaleza (RMF) e Porto Alegre (RMPA). Para isso foram estimados dois modelos, um a partir das regressões de rendimentos minceriano e quantidade de horas trabalhadas, e um segundo modelo utilizando o método de diferenças em diferenças. Os dados são da Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego – PED e se referem aos anos de 2014 a 2016. Constatou-se que o coeficiente estimado para o Efeito Uber não apresentou significância estatística em nenhuma das regiões metropolitanas estudadas, entretanto esse resultado refere-se apenas ao efeito inicial, podendo apresentar resultados diferentes em análises futuras. Outros resultados demonstraram que taxistas negros da RMPA tendem a apresentar mais horas de trabalho e menor rendimento por hora. Taxistas que são chefes de suas famílias também trabalham mais horas. Quanto maior a renda familiar desses trabalhadores, mais horas são trabalhadas na semana e maior o rendimento por hora. Em alguns dos modelos estimados para as duas regiões metropolitanas há um efeito educação.

Pocket computers, called "smartphones," have become a part of everyday life over the past decade. Most people now routinely carry around with them millions of times more computing power than generated the Apollo mission to the Moon. They use it to access, process, and share information quickly and cheaply, in furtherance of the things people have long done: buying and selling, socializing, and so on, yet faster and across greater distances-characteristic of what we call "modernity." This has affected the ways in which people are working, and who is working, doing what, today. This thesis reports the results of a field study of one new kind of laborer who has been brought into work consequent to the smartphone: Uber drivers. The author conducted ethnographic fieldwork over one year in Boston, Massachusetts, and the surrounding area using ride-along sampling, participant observation, lengthy interviewing, and systematic coding in order to better understand a software-organized, person-to-person labor market in which the person who does the labor also brings the capital in the form of a vehicle used to provide transportation to other people. The first chapter of the thesis provides a typology of Uber drivers based on semi-random sampling through ride-alongs. The second chapter describes collective action that was undertaken by Uber drivers at Boston's Logan Airport in the form of a strike against the algorithm, which was an effort to induce the software to perceive an (artificial) driver shortage, leading to an increase in the price of fares. The third chapter offers a theory of the structure of Uber as an organization that mobilizes labor by using software to facilitate economic transactions that are triangulated between two users and the firm. The chapter also explains how this structure was particularly apt at mobilizing large numbers of people to carry out "regulatory breach," as they worked as Uber drivers doing the equivalent of taxi or livery work without complying with any of the applicable legal regulations. The final chapter explains how analysis of the field data, in combination with the new theoretical insights of the thesis, drives a conclusion suggested by the thesis title: that Uber has made a digital working class.

Full textThe creation of ridesourcing firms Uber and Lyft greatly disrupted the taxicab marketplace in the United States over the past four years. By examining the taxicab marketplace, as well as the ridesourcing firm’s aspects of creative destruction, the marketplace’s drastic changes become apparent. Thus, 21st century technology disrupts the marketplace, and creates a real time market based on supply and demand factors. Furthermore, disruption impacts all actors within the previous taxicab marketplace as well as the newly created ridesourcing marketplace; therefore, ridesourcing’s widespread effects are examined in detail

This essay is a study of the impacts of disruptive organizations, taking as case study the Uber Technologies, defined for this research as a disruptive company, choosed for being one of the most prominent and controversial within the present-day capitalism?s new shape of own business. Uber Technologies communication practices are evidenced and discussed as an innovative organization, whose discourse is constructed according to their stakeholders. Therefore, its tactics include charm the printed media using the innovative speech and the quality improvement of the public transportation service, which can be reached through competition dynamics. This way, it is assumed that this model follower companies are ruled for an unbridled quest for innovation, causing market ruptures and pre-made social models, even analyzing, thereupon, the social impacts provoked by Uber Technologies. The research has a bibliographic and documentary character. The bibliographic character based on the disruption and creative destruction, based on the works of Christensen (2001), Schumpeter (1961) and Harvey (2011). The similarities of virtuality and ubiquity with the concepts of place and non-place, are presented from the works of ?uge (1994), L?vi (1996,1999), Santaella (2007) and Santos (2008). We also reviewed different perspectives of the organizational studies, drawing on the works of Baldissera (2010), Chanlat (2010), Freitas (1999), Hall (2006), Han (2017), Kunsch (2008), Mumby (2013), Schiraro (2004) and Srour (2012). The analysis of the Uber news published in the newspapers Zero Hora and Correio do Povo in the period from november 2015 to april 2018 showed at first the disruptive impact of the organization and, later, its trajectory and regulation. In turn, the Uber advertising campaign sought to humanize the relations between passengers/customers and drivers, representing situations of lightness and good acquaintanceship provided by the application. The presence of Uber Technologies is recent in the world, and with its maturation, new guidelines can become relevant in the eyes of the media organizations, acquiring more space in the social agenda.
A presente disserta??o trata sobre os impactos das organiza??es disruptivas, tendo como estudo de caso a Uber Technologies, justificando-se sua escolha por ser uma das empresas mais expoentes e controversas desse novo modelo de neg?cio pr?prio do capitalismo contempor?neo. Evidencia-se e discute-se as suas pr?ticas comunicacionais enquanto organiza??o inovadora, cujo discurso ? constru?do acordo com seus p?blicos de interesse. Suas estrat?gias incluem a sedu??o dos meios impressos, atrav?s do discurso da inova??o e da melhora na qualidade do servi?o de transporte, que pode ser atingido atrav?s das din?micas de competi??o. Assim, parte-se do pressuposto de que empresas que seguem esse modelo s?o pautadas por uma busca desenfreada pela inova??o e causam rupturas de mercados e modelos sociais preestabelecidos, analisando-se, em raz?o disso, tamb?m, os impactos sociais provocados pela Uber Technologies. A pesquisa de car?ter bibliogr?fico e documental, reflete sobre a tem?tica da disrup??o e destrui??o criativa, embasadas nas obras de Christensen (2001), Schumpeter (1961) e Harvey (2011). As semelhan?as de virtualidade e ubiquidade com os conceitos de lugar e n?o lugar s?o apresentadas a partir das obras de ?uge (1994), L?vi (1996,1999), Santaella (2007) e Santos (2008). Tamb?m foram revisadas diferentes perspectivas dos estudos organizacionais, apoiando-se nas obras de Baldissera (2010), Chanlat (2010), Freitas (1999), Hall (2006), Han (2017), Kunsch (2008), Mumby (2013), Schiraro (2004) e Srour (2012). A an?lise das mat?rias sobre a Uber veiculadas nos jornais Zero Hora e Correio do Povo, no per?odo de novembro de 2015 a abril de 2018, evidenciou num primeiro momento, o impacto disruptivo da organiza??o, e posteriormente, a sua trajet?ria e regulamenta??o. Por sua vez, a campanha publicit?ria da Uber procurou humanizar as rela??es entre passageiros/clientes e motoristas, representando situa??es de leveza e boa conviv?ncia proporcionadas pelo aplicativo. A presen?a da Uber Technologies ? recente no mundo, e com seu amadurecimento, novas pautas podem tornar-se relevantes diante dos olhos das organiza??es midi?ticas, ganhando maior espa?o na pauta social.

Full textBakgrund: Under de senaste åren har den svenska taximarknaden genomgått en rad förändringar till följd av en ökad digitalisering på en avreglerad marknad. Det har uppkommit flertalet aktörer på marknaden till följd av den fria etableringsrätten, som i sin tur lett till en högre konkurrens. Bland dessa nya aktörer har affärsmodellen ride-hailing fått ett genomslag genom att ta en traditionell tjänst och utföra den annorlunda. Uppsatsen kommer därmed att närmare undersöka hur detta tillvägagångssätt har påverkat den svenska taximarknaden. Syfte: Uppsatsen syftar till att öka förståelsen för de aspekter av ride-hailing-affärsmodellen som specifikt utmärker sig hos företaget Uber. Det följande sekundära syftet avser att identifiera den påverkan som denna specifika affärsmodell haft på den svenska taxibranschen till följd av Ubers etablering på den svenska marknaden. Metod: Uppsatsen är en abduktiv fallstudie av kvalitativ karaktär. Empiri har insamlats via tre distinkta tillvägagångssätt, vilka är insamlande av vetenskapligt material, semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre respondenter samt en Social Media Analys bestående av data från cirka 100 fristående artiklar samt mediala publikationer. Vidare har dessa tre typer av empiriska data valts ut via ett strategiskt urval. Slutsats: Resultatet från denna uppsats visar att de specifika aspekterna som utmärker sig inom Uber Sveriges användning av ride-hailing-affärsmodellen är värdeskapande, differentiering, innovation och social acceptans. Vidare visar resultatet på att ride-hailing-affärsmodellen har påverkat den svenska taximarknaden i avseende på de specifika aspekternas inflytande på utvecklingen av taxibranschen samt kring statliga regleringar.

Full textLos recientes avances tecnológicos se han integrado a la rutina de las personas rápidamente, casi sin tiempo para adaptarse a éstos, cambiando la forma en que perciben la vida de forma permanente. De la misma forma, estos cambios han afectado distintos mercados, transformando la fuerza laboral y las aptitudes necesarias para emplearse en este entorno. Es en esta línea que aparecen nuevos servicios de transporte que, a través de aplicaciones para el teléfono celular, conectan a los conductores con los pasajeros que buscan distintos viajes, mediante geolocalización. A estos servicios se les puede encontrar en la literatura como servicios de ride-hailing o ride-sourcing que, a priori, entran a competir con el taxi, dada la similitud de lo que ofrecen. En el caso chileno las aplicaciones que entran, a la fecha en esta descripción son: Uber, Cabify y Beat, mientras que varios taxis se han unido a este avance tecnológico, adhiriéndose a la aplicación Easy Taxi, que ofrece alguna de las ventajas (conocer con anterioridad el nombre del conductor, una estimación de la demanda, la calificación promedio del conductor, entre otras) que poseen las aplicaciones móviles. El problema surge en esta misma competencia antes descrita, un taxista para poder ofrecer su servicio debe incurrir en una serie de costos que el conductor de ridesourcing no paga, tales como la patente de taxi o los cursos para sacar la licencia profesional A1. En la actualidad el gobierno está intentando regular las aplicaciones ridesourcing en Chile a través de un proyecto de ley en el Congreso, el cual ha sido criticado por la opinión pública, puesto que no logra justificarse debidamente. En este contexto surge la necesidad de estudiar sistemas de regulación de la oferta de ridesourcing. El presente trabajo se enmarca en este problema, utilizando un modelo económico se estimará la tarifa óptima a cobrar a cada uno de los modos de transporte, en particular la de los servicios de ridesourcing. Se considera los modos ridesourcing, taxi, bus y autómovil particular como modos competidores en el mercado del transporte. Se plantean las condiciones que maximizan el bienestar social, junto con una formulación para la demanda por transporte.

Full textRESUMO Propósito: O objetivo deste estudo é ter em consideração quer as causas e as consequências da experiência de uma viagem compartilhada, quer a compreensão relativamente ao facto de existem diferenças culturais entre Portugal e China, nas viagens compartilhadas.Abordagem: O modelo conceitual propõe 10 hipóteses relacionadas com experiências de viagens compartilhadas e o teste é baseado numa amostra de 438 pessoas da China e de Portugal. Foram recolhidos dados, através de um questionário on-line, usando um modelo de equação estrutural para análise estatística.Resultados: Nos dados recolhidos, conclui-se o seguinte: a facilidade de uso do software, os colaboradores, preço, risco percebido e Customer Novelty Seeking teve um impacto positivo nas viagens compartilhadas. As viagens compartilhadas podem ter um impacto positivo no WOM, na memória, na satisfação do cliente, na lealdade do mesmo e prazer. Verificou-se que existem diferenças entre os dois países participantes na amostra, e a facilidade de uso do software tem um impacto maior na experiência de viagem compartilhada dos usuários portugueses. Por outro lado, para os consumidores chineses de viagens compartilhadas, o risco percebido e a pesquisa de novos clientes têm um impacto maior na experiência do cliente. Além disso, para os consumidores chineses, a WOM trazida pela experiência da economia compartilhada é significativamente maior do que a dos consumidores portugueses, e a sua satisfação e lealdade são um pouco maiores que Portugal. Portanto, pode considerar-se que a experiência da viagem compartilhada é uma parte importante no desenvolvimento da viagem compartilhada.Limitações e futuras linhas de investigação: Neste artigo, o questionário de amostra é usado para analisar os dados. Contudo, o método mais adequado é limitado por custo e tempo, sendo difícil garantir a representatividade da amostra para um grupo tão complexo de usuários da economia compartilhada. Portanto, os resultados da amostragem têm limitações. Note-se também que este artigo se concentra na experiência do cliente em viagem compartilhada e estuda a experiência do usuário Uber / Didi. Com a entrada de um maior número de novas empresas no mercado, que compartilham viagens (por exemplo, Bolt em Portugal, Meituan na China), etc., ele não envolve todos os softwares de táxi no mercado. Os principais dados deste artigo baseiam-se em Portugal e na China continental, existindo certas limitações geográficas.Contribuições práticas: As marcas precisam de usar plataformas de tecnologia para realizar marketing multicanal, tendo como objectivo melhorar a experiência do cliente.Uma boa experiência do cliente pode aumentar a satisfação do mesmo, melhorar o diálogo, aumentar a lealdade do cliente, melhorar a sua satisfação e permanecer na memória do cliente por um longo tempo. Portanto, para compartilhar empresas econômicas, criar uma boa experiência de viagem para os clientes é um passo importante para o sucesso.Originalidade: Este estudo faz um levantamento de muitos fatores relacionados com a experiência de viagens compartilhadas, destacando a sua relevância no campo do marketing, usando amostras portuguesas e chinesas de forma comparativa para descobrir o impacto das diferenças culturais.
ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of this study is to take into account both the causes and consequences of the experience of a shared trip, as well as an understanding of the fact that there are cultural differences between Portugal and China, in shared trips.Approach: The conceptual model proposes 10 hypotheses related to shared travel experiences and the test is based on a sample of 438 people from China and Portugal. Data were collected through an online questionnaire, using a structural equation model for statistical analysis.Results: In the data collected, the following is concluded: the ease of use of the software, employees, price, perceived risk and Customer Novelty Seeking had a positive impact on shared trips. Shared travel can have a positive impact on WOM, memory, customer satisfaction, customer loyalty and pleasure. It was found that there are differences between the two countries participating in the sample, and the ease of use of the software has a greater impact on the shared travel experience of Portuguese users. On the other hand, for Chinese shared travel consumers, the perceived risk and the search for new customers have a greater impact on the customer experience. In addition, for Chinese consumers, the WOM brought by the experience of the shared economy is significantly greater than that of Portuguese consumers, and their satisfaction and loyalty are slightly higher than Portugal. Therefore, the shared travel experience can be considered to be an important part in the development of shared travel.Limitations and future lines of investigation: In this article, the sample questionnaire is used to analyze the data. However, the most appropriate method is limited by cost and time, making it difficult to guarantee the representativeness of the sample for such a complex group of users of the shared economy. Therefore, the sampling results have limitations. It should also be noted that this article focuses on the customer experience in shared mobility and studies the Uber / Didi user experience. With the entry of a greater number of new companies in the market, which share trips (for example, Bolt in Portugal, Meituan in China), etc., it does not involve all taxi software on the market. The main data in this article are based on Portugal and mainland China, with certain geographical limitations.Practical contributions: Brands need to use technology platforms to conduct multichannel marketing, with the aim of improving the customer experience.A good customer experience can increase customer satisfaction, improve dialogue, increase customer loyalty, improve customer satisfaction and remain in the customer's memory for a long time. Therefore, to share economic companies, creating a good travel experience for customers is an important step towards success.Originality: This study surveys many factors related to the shared travel experience, highlighting its relevance in the field of marketing, using Portuguese and Chinese samples in a comparative way to discover the impact of cultural differences.

Since 1995, Uber founded in the United States and slowly spread to the rest of the world, Uber most of the world encountered in conflict with existing local regulations. In 2013, Uber rolled out its business to Taiwan, starting with UberBLACK, a high-end, dual-B vehicle source for UberBLACK, and in May 2014, UberBLACK was introduced at a more affordable price. Another alternative UberX elite step, the introduction of elite elite step finally shook the attention of both the taxi industry and protest. The case was raised by Uber's price-cutting promotion, which caused Uber drivers, Uber passengers, Taxi operators, Government officials ... and so on, which resulted in a "One price reduction, Let five sides are losing" the results, originally hope price cuts bring more big business opportunities, did not expect to bring a devastating consequences. The protagonist of the case as a driver of the cost of Uber after the benefit of the assessment, taking into account the Uber company launched the incentive benefits on the real impact of income, but also assessed such as traffic fines, the competent authorities audit, secretly issued a ticket risk ... and so on of the assessment. Also thinking that what is the difference between Uber and the service provided by the current industry and why the difference is. The case used " KANO Model " to explore the main considerations of passengers in choosing Uber or traditional taxis. And the "Service Blueprinting" to analyze whether Uber is known as the general public as the "car system" plus "white car". In discussing Uber's success and failure factors, first use the " Business Model" analysis approach to explore its success factors. And if Uber in Taiwan when entering the " Robust Design" approach, will not create another situation. This series of reactions and then test the wisdom of Uber and the competent authorities, how to innovate and regulate the norms of the existing balance to seek the greatest benefit. Under such uncertainty, is the case protagonist facing the risk of continuing to provide services or choosing to use alternative loopholes in existing law to provide alternative services, or is it directly choosing another way? The next one is like a successful Uber Innovative business model, where will it appear?
