Abstract:

Pod utjecajem brzog razvoja digitalnih tehnologija u posljednje vrijeme je došlo do pojave novih oblika fleksibilnog zapošljavanja koje karakterizira snažna ili prevladavajuća podrška informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije. Online platforma Uber za pružanje usluge gradskog prijevoza putnika jedan je od široj javnosti najpoznatijih predstavnika navedenih promjena u svijetu rada. Imajući u vidu da je pojava Ubera izazvala brojne kontroverze i postavila nove suvremene regulatorne izazove u sferi radnog prava, u radu se problematiziraju glavna radnopravna pitanja i izazovi koji proizlaze iz Uberovog poslovnog modela. U prvom dijelu rada dan je kratki prikaz novih oblika rada nastalih pod utjecajem procesa digitalizacije tržišta rada, s osobitim naglaskom na modelu grupnog zapošljavanja (engl. crowdwork). U drugom dijelu rada autorica analizira poslovni model kojeg koristi platforma Uber. U trećem dijelu detaljno se razmatra problematika klasifikacije vozača Ubera kao radnika ili samozaposlenih osoba, pri čemu se osobito s aspekta hrvatskoga radnog prava nastoji dati odgovor na pitanje jesu li u ugovornom odnosu između Ubera i njegovih vozača – partnera de facto prisutni, i u kojoj mjeri, bitni elementi radnog odnosa. Naposljetku, autorica iznosi zaključna razmatranja te ukazuje na potrebu utvrđivanja jasnog i transparentnog (radno)pravnog okvira, prikladnog za razvoj novih oblika rada nastalih pod utjecajem digitalnih tehnologija.

Abstract:

Uber drivers in India are witnessing a slow emergence of everyday work formalization predominantly through their engagement with the Uber platform. If a vast segment of the informal employment sector in a country resembles gig work, can companies like Uber bring organizational ability and wage regularity to employment? Despite Uber's economic model being challenged on several labor fronts in scholarship from the global North, we argue everyday interactions with the Uber platform are ushering organized work practices and improved financial stability for drivers who formerly hail from the informal employment sector in India. The everyday driving for Uber is filtered through a conceptual and practical work model drivers gain with due experience of Uber's platform features. Our study uncovers the relationship between the controlling demands of the Uber platform and ensuing driver work adaptations. We present findings from a qualitative investigation of Uber ride-hailing services impacting drivers to 1. optimize earnings 2. link work effort to wages 3. converge towards platform compliance. We posit engaged and persistent interactions with the Uber platform bring structure and formality to the profession of driving for Indian Uber drivers.

Abstract:

Recently, Uber released datasets named Uber Movement to the public in support of urban planning and transportation planning. To prevent user privacy issues, Uber aggregates car GPS traces into small areas. After aggregating car GPS traces into small areas, Uber releases free data products that indicate the average travel times of Uber cars between two small areas. The average travel times of Uber cars in the morning peak time periods on weekdays could be used as a proxy for average one-way car-based commuting times. In this study, to demonstrate usefulness of Uber Movement data, we use Uber Movement data as a proxy for commuting time data by which commuters’ average one-way commuting time across Greater Boston can be figured out. We propose a new approach to estimate the average car-based commuting times through combining commuting times from Uber Movement data and commuting flows from travel survey data. To further demonstrate the applicability of the commuting times estimated by Uber movement data, this study further measures the spatial accessibility of jobs by car by aggregating place-to-place commuting times to census tracts. The empirical results further uncover that 1) commuters’ average one-way commuting time is around 20 min across Greater Boston; 2) more than 75% of car-based commuters are likely to have a one-way commuting time of less than 30 min; 3) less than 1% of car-based commuters are likely to have a one-way commuting time of more than 60 min; and 4) the areas suffering a lower level of spatial accessibility of jobs by car are likely to be evenly distributed across Greater Boston.

Abstract:

In 2014, the Asociación Profesional Élite Taxi (Elite Taxi) brought an action before the Juzgado de lo Mercantil No 3 de Barcelona (Commercial Court No. 3, Barcelona, Spain) for the infringement of the national law on taxi services and the carrying out of misleading practices and acts of unfair competition by Uber Systems Spain SL (Uber). The two parties in the main proceedings are Elite Taxi, a taxi drivers' association in Barcelona, and Uber, a company related to Uber Technologies Inc. In the proceedings, Uber argued that its smartphone app constituted only a technical platform and should be regulated as an “information society service,” subject to EU law. However, the court ruled against Uber and found that it was providing a “service in the field of transport,” making the company subject to the potentially more stringent regulations of individual EU member states.

Abstract:

Uber is a new taxi service both in terms of technology - applying GPS-based LBS and method of fee calculation - using international payment cards. Although Uber selects the cheap strategy, provides high-quality service with luxury vehicles. This study proposes the adoption model for Uber taxi. Research results indicate elements, namely knowledge about legal, easy to use, subjective norm, and price value that impact on the adoption intention and usage of Uber taxi in Vietnam. The study results not only provide information for Uber and other taxi suppliers in choosing the appropriate development strategy, but also expropriate the scientific knowledge for the technology adoption theory.

Abstract:

El índice Uber se construye como una aplicación de los aportes que ha desarrollado el enfoque de los estudios del campo de Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad, en relación al capitalismo de plataforma. El mencionado índice se elabora a partir del seguimiento de la tarifa del servicio de Uber a nivel global con el objetivo de observar la distribución de la renta entre los choferes de la plataforma en cuestión, según su ubicación geográfica. Los datos relevados en 39 ciudades capitales se comparan con las tarifas del servicio de taxis, entendiendo que estos son valores de referencia para estimar el funcionamiento del capitalismo tradicional. Esta comparación ha permitido observar la estrategia de precio del servicio que está desarrollando Uber y la redistribución de la renta del sector de acuerdo a criterios diferentes a los que operaban en el mercado de taxis sin Uber. Tal afirmación se desprende del dato de que en 36 ciudades el servicio de la plataforma es más barato que el de los taxis. Esta disminución en la tarifa no se condice con una baja de los costos en igual medida. Para una mejor interpretación del índice Uber, se cruzó con el Índice de Desarrollo Humano, y de ello se constata que el capitalismo de plataformas está agrupando ciudades para establecer su estrategia de precios bajos en países de desarrollo medio – alto y alto, erosionando así las condiciones de trabajo de los conductores en donde el capitalismo tradicional de prestación de servicios mediante taxis tenía mejores condiciones de ingresos.

Abstract:

In most cities, the taxi industry is highly regulated and has restricted entry. Ride sharing services, such as Uber and Lyft, which use mobile internet technology to connect passengers and drivers, have begun to compete with traditional taxis. This paper examines the efficiency of ride sharing services vis-a-vis taxis. In most cities with data available, UberX drivers spend a significantly higher fraction of their time, and drive a substantially higher share of miles, with a passenger in their car than do taxi drivers. Reasons for this efficiency advantage are explored.

Abstract:

Digital data have become a form of “objectivation”, which affect how we construct social knowledge and organize social space (Couldry & Hepp, 2017). The workplace is one sphere that is increasingly datafied. This study explores how Uber drivers, a form of digitally-enabled service workers, contribute to the normalization of the social production of space through their interpretative practices of digital data in an online forum. Drawing on Uber’s corporate discourse and an Uber driver online forum, we analyze two facets of the Uber app and drivers’ mediated experiences: (1) the quantification and discipline of drivers’ performance through Uber’s rating system and (2) the coordination of spatial movement through location-related metrics. We argue that the underlying workings of the Uber app premediate expectations of service encounters and spatial movement. Uber drivers meanwhile develop practices which respond to and circumvent their own data contributions to the system. Drivers’ practices, we argue, are largely in compliance with the calculative logics set by Uber. The article addresses implications of Uber drivers’ practices for the reproduction of social space and power-relations in digitally-enabled service work and the gig economy.

Abstract:

This article undertakes a content analysis of the Uber mobile interface as depicted in a patent application for a process that integrates and automates social media information to match potential UberPool riders. As depicted in the patent application, the Uber interface is a critical locus for incorporating social media information and rendering this information usable and palpable for users. By aligning the Uber interface with the communicative and symbolic richness of iconic imagery, I argue for the Uber interface as a juncture for critical abstractions between the manifestation of social interactions appearing to users on the Uber interface and Uber’s techno-economic motivations to shape, configure and guide user enactment of sociality. By designing for simplicity, the Uber interface abstracts between the push-button ease of undertaking sociality and the need to reflect on circumstances giving rise to these prescribed forms of sociality. Through this viewpoint, I specify abstractions between simplified forms of sociality presented to users and Uber techno-economic motivations configuring interfacial sociality, implicating algorithmic objectivity, connective friending and programmed sociality as unseen forces configuring and prescribing social interactions for user engagement.

Abstract:

This article examines the role of the sharing economy in India’s development through the examples of aggregated taxis such as Uber and Ola in Delhi. 1 Based on a general survey of Uber and Ola drivers and users in Delhi, we argue that Uber and Ola do not measure up to their expected potential in the development of India’s economy on the parameters of ecological sustainability, employment through renting out assets and reduction in the need to own assets. Yet, Uber and Ola are notable for the creation of viable employment opportunities for drivers, and their many benefits for urban middle class users. Unique to the Uber and Ola phenomenon in India is the interception of driver opportunities by taxidars (taxi-owners). This tweaked Uber model for the Indian market allows the middle class individual—the police official, bureaucrat, property dealer, transporter or a professional—an entry into the aggregated taxi market.

Delivery companies have become a focal point of the ‘gig economy’, with Uber the most often identified entity. This commentary considers what recent cases involving delivery service companies suggest about labour law and the platform economy. Although these cases have focused on employment status, this commentary contends that the continuing lack of concerted engagement with the independent contractor status contributes to this spate of cases.

Tujuan dari pembentukan kawasan peternakan tersebut untuk melestarikan fungsi strategis peternakaan tradisional yang sudah dilakukan masyarakat adat setempat, tetapi implementasi Qanun Nomor 05 Tahun 2011 belum berjalan dengan maksimal. Oleh karena itu, kajian ini penting dilakukan untuk mengetahui pelaksanaan implementasi Qanun Nomor 05 Tahun 2011 serta faktor-faktor penghambatnya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif, dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi atau kepustakaan. Hingga kini, upaya pengembangan sapi potong dan kerbau belum mampu memenuhi kebutuhan daging di Kabupaten Bener Meriah. Hal ini ditandai dengan tidak adanya peningkatan jumlah populasi dalam kawasan peternakan Uber-uber dan Blang paku Kecamatan Mesidah Kabupaten Bener Meriah, dikarenakan masih banyaknya sikap mental yang menjadi tradisi peternak dalam masyarakat yang hanya ingin memiliki bantuan ternak yang diberikan Pemda setempat tanpa rasa ingin mengembangkan dan memberdayakan bantuan tersebut dalam mengoptimalkan kawasan peternakan. Selain itu, Keterbatasan Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) dalam bidang peternakan seperti Medik Veteriner yaitu dokter hewan, dan Paramedik yaitu sarjana peternakan, juga menjadi faktor penghambatnya implementasi Qanun Nomor 05 Tahun 2011, sehingga tidak terkontrolnya manajemen peternakan dalam kawasan tersebut. Peneliti melakukan penelitian untuk menemukan bagaimana mengoptimalkan kawasan peternakan tersebut sehingga implementasi Qanun Nomor 05 Tahun 2011 Tentang lokasi Peternakan (Peruweren) Uber-uber dan Blang paku Kabupaten Bener Meriah bisa berjalan dengan semestinya

Abstract:

Pracę za pośrednictwem aplikacji mobilnych można uznać za klasyczne realizowanie idei elastyczności. Firma Uber jako pionier w obszarze gospodarki platformowej zdaje się potwierdzać tę prawidłowość składanymi przez siebie obietnicami. Nie zawsze jednak punkt widzenia dostarczyciela technologii pokrywa się w praktyce z oczekiwaniami jego użytkowników. Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, czy obietnice składane przez Ubera mają pokrycie w rzeczywistości oraz czy elastyczność i pozorna autonomia obiecywane kierowcom prowadzą do wzrostu niepewności pracy w kontekście pracy prekarnej. Podstawą rozważań jest analiza postów zamieszczanych w zamkniętych grupach dyskusyjnych na jednym z portali społecznościowych – grupujących kierowców Ubera, a także indywidualnych wywiadów pogłębionych zrealizowanych wśród samych kierowców zgodnie z metodologią teorii ugruntowanej.

Learning outcomes The learning outcomes are as follows: to gain insight into the importance of location, in terms of spatial and temporal context and the capability of leadership to tune into and strategically adapt to context; to understand and explain the sharing economy and explain how the Uber business model fits into this new way of doing business; to evaluate how Uber South Africa has adapted its business model in the period of the COVID-19 crisis and discuss the nature of the business model innovations that is has made; and to understand business model for sustainability and how it differs from the general understanding of business models. Case overview/synopsis On 15 May 2020, Alon Lits, General Manager of Uber Africa was considering his dilemma of adapting their business model to the demands of COVID-19, without losing their core business model as a multi-sided technology platform business. Uber was asking their riders to stay home to ensure social distancing during the lockdown, rather than booking a ride with Uber. The question was how they could support their driver partners, while they were discouraging riders to make use of Uber. Uber had taken initiatives to create additional revenue streams for drivers. The case highlights how Alon Lits and his executive team prioritised the health and well-being of their Uber community and quickly adapted their technology to meet the evolving needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. They customised their offerings to the different needs in the seven Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries in which they operated. Uber supported businesses by using the Uber-X sedan vehicles to deliver necessities like food, medicine and parcels to the frontline and poor communities. Uber globally offered their drivers in quarantine 14 days of financial assistance. Serving communities also involved offering free rides to women and children who were victims of domestic violence to get them to a safe space. The multi-sided platform technology business had to consciously adapt, to the “next normal” as the COVID-19 era evolved.

Abstract:

The Employment Tribunals and England and Wales Court of Appeal accepted in the case [2018]EWCA Civ 2748 that any Uber driver who has the App switched on the territory in which he/she is authorized to work , and is able and willing to accept assignments is working for Uber under a worker contract. The UK courts had disregarded some provisions of the Uber’s Driver Agreement. They had been entitled to do so because the relevant provisions of the Driver Agreement did not reflect the reality of the bargain made between the parties. The fact that Uber interviews and recruit drivers, controls the key information, requires drivers to accept trips, sets the route, fixes the fare, imposes numerous conditions on drivers, determines wages, amends the driver’s terms unilaterally, and handles complaints by passengers makes him a transportation or passenger carrier, not an information and electronic technology provider. Therefore the UK courts solved the central issue of for whom (Uber), under contract with whom (Uber), drivers perform their services. Uber is a modern business phenomenon. Regardless of its special position in business Uber is oblige to follow the rules according to which the work is not a commodity neither online technology device.

Abstract:

Recently, Uber driver (and former Uber CEO) Travis Kalanick has been sued under antitrust laws. The plaintiffs argue that Mr. Kalanick and the other Uber drivers have engaged in a price fixing arrangement that violates §1 of the Sherman Act. The case, Meyer v. Uber (originally Meyer v. Kalanick), is still being litigated. This Comment will analyze each side’s potential arguments and will ultimately conclude that the court should find Uber drivers not guilty of a Sherman Act violation. This determination will be based on: the merits of the various arguments, how such a holding would fit within the history of antitrust law, and how it would set effective precedent for the future. Additionally, this Comment argues that Uber’s place in the sharing economy distinguishes it from previous antitrust violators the plaintiffs will likely analogize it to.

Abstract:

BackgroundRoad traffic deaths are a substantial barrier to population health improvement in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). In South Africa, the road-traffic injury mortality (RTM) rate of 27 per 100 000 population is twice the global average, over 60% of which are alcohol-related. Recent US studies suggest the Uber ride-sharing service may reduce alcohol-related RTM, however RTM burden in the USA is relatively low and transport behaviours differ from LMICs.MethodsUsing certification data from all deaths occurring in South Africa in the years 2010–2014 (n=2 498 216), we investigated the relative change in weekly road traffic-related death counts between provinces which received Uber services (beginning in 2013) against those that did not using a difference-in-differences approach.ResultsWeekly road traffic-related deaths in provinces with Uber were lower following Uber introduction than in comparison provinces without Uber. The effect size was larger in the province which had Uber the longest (Gauteng) and among young adult males (aged 17–39 years). However, the absolute effects were very small (<2 deaths per year) and may coincide with seasonal variation.ConclusionsOverall, findings did not support either an increase or large decrease in province-level road traffic-related deaths associated with Uber introduction to South Africa. More localised investigations in South Africa and other LMICs are needed.

Abstract:

O desenvolvimento das tecnologias são aperfeiçoadas independentes das consequências e isso reflete no mercado de trabalho, mudando completamente a forma de gerar renda. A economia compartilhada inovou nesse quesito e mudou a relação entre cliente e prestador de serviço, esses novos negócios ganharam destaque do modelo tradicional e surgiram com a perspectiva de mudar a visão moderna em relação ao consumo em massa. A Uber é um exemplo de empresa que adotou o modelo de compartilhamento. O surgimento da Uber em 2010 foi no período de crise econômica e ao chegar no Brasil em 2014 ganhou vários adeptos que viram na Uber uma forma de ganhar dinheiro ou como fator de renda extra. Nesse sentido, as mudanças no mercado de trabalho devem ser pesquisadas, haja visto que os impactos dessa nova realidade atingi diretamente o modo de vida das pessoas. Assim, justifica-se a elaboração desse estudo que se mostra relevante no sentido de trazer uma pesquisa centrada em um fenômeno ainda pouco estudado, mas que se tornou realidade no contexto do mercado atual. O presente trabalho teve como questão: como a Uber se tornou uma das principais alternativas para minimização do índice de desemprego? Em busca dessa resposta teve como objetivo analisar a Uber como fator de influência na minimização do índice de desemprego. Para isso, foram identificados os perfis de motoristas da Uber; a caracterização das organizações de economia compartilhada e feita a confirmação da influência da Uber na renda familiar. Para realização da pesquisa foi disponibilizado um link do questionário, através do Google Forms e foram coletadas 50 respostas de motoristas da Uber no Maranhão. Em seguida, feito uma análise e compilação dos dados coletados e observou que a economia compartilhada impactou na nova realidade de trabalho no mercado do Maranhão.

Abstract:

Uber, the ride-sharing company launched in 2010, has grown at an exponential rate. Using both survey and administrative data, the authors provide the first comprehensive analysis of the labor market for Uber’s driver-partners. Drivers appear to be attracted to the Uber platform largely because of the flexibility it offers, the level of compensation, and the fact that earnings per hour do not vary much based on the number of hours worked. Uber’s driver-partners are more similar in terms of their age and education to the general workforce than to taxi drivers and chauffeurs. Most of Uber’s driver-partners had full- or part-time employment before joining Uber, and many continue in those positions after starting to drive with the Uber platform, which makes the flexibility to set their own hours especially valuable. Drivers often cite the desire to smooth fluctuations in their income as one of their reasons for partnering with Uber.

Abstract:

There is a new cast of self-proclaimed experts offering “how-to-succeed” resources aimed at coaching and inspiring gig workers. The emergence of such resources raises questions about the performance of expertise regarding the workings of algorithmic labor platforms. This article examines how Uber driver/bloggers—workers who are driving for Uber, while also creating Uber-related video content—perform expertise in driving for Uber on YouTube. I conducted in-depth interviews with 11 driver/bloggers and a qualitative analysis of the textual and video content published by driver/bloggers. Through the data, I show how driver/bloggers’ empowerment narratives became intertwined with their individualistic aspirations to develop dual careers as Uber drivers and YouTubers. Driver/bloggers employed three self-presentation strategies to perform expertise, including the construction of uniqueness and “know-how,” realness, and relatability with audiences. The study concludes with implications for our collective understandings of gig workers, expertise, and online curation across a wider platform ecology.

Abstract:

Using machine learning and artificial intelligence, Uber has been disrupting the world taxi industry. However, the Uber algorithmic apparatus managed to perfectionize the scalable decentralized tracking and surveillance of mobile living bodies. This article examines the Uber surveillance machinery and discusses the determinants of its algorithmically powered ‘all-seeing power’. The latter is being figured as an Algopticon that reinvents Bentham’s panopticon in the era of the platform economy.

Abstract:

Os serviços de E-hailing estão em constante crescimento em todo mundo, por proporcionar praticidade, confiabilidade e atratividade econômica tanto para os usuários como para os motoristas. Neste contexto, o aplicativo de transportes Uber iniciou o seu funcionamento na cidade de Santa Maria no primeiro trimestre de 2018. A principal questão que motivou a realização deste trabalho é o problema de pesquisa: atualmente utilizar o Uber é economicamente mais atrativo do que ser proprietário de um automóvel na cidade de Santa Maria? Dessa forma, objetivo geral deste trabalho é realizar uma análise de viabilidade econômica do carro próprio em relação ao Uber na cidade de Santa Maria através de indicadores econômicos. Foram criados vinte e oito cenários de cálculo que alternaram entre o carro próprio, o Uber, diferentes quilometragens percorridas diariamente e diferentes Taxas Mínimas de Atratividade. Os métodos de análise utilizados para que o objetivo fosse alcançado foram VPL, TIR, Payback e Payback Descontado. Com base nos resultados encontrados, as principais conclusões foram que o empreendimento se mostrou viável, VPL positivo, para os cenários envolvendo o Uber para até 20 Km percorridos diariamente, além disso, tem-se que os cenários envolvendo o Uber se mostraram mais viáveis economicamente do que os cenários que abrangeram o carro próprio.

Abstract:

Synopsis This case uses Uber Technologies Inc. to engage students in a serious conversation about how a firm both affects its stakeholders and is affected by its stakeholders as well as the role of strategic leadership in the amount of emphasis placed on ethical practices. Uber represents a visible high-growth startup that has received considerable positive and negative attention in the media; however, few people know of the extent of its aggressive management approach. Much of the publicity about Uber is both a direct consequence of and a direct consequence for stakeholder relationships. Students are asked to analyze Uber’s approach and offer suggestions for moving forward. Research methodology This case was created using secondary data sources. The issues for Uber that led the authors to write this case were not very flattering to Uber, and therefore, the authors decided to use secondary sources. Since Uber and many of its direct competitors were private companies, the authors collected as much financial data as the authors could from publicly available sources. Also, due to the contentious nature of some of the managerial tactics used within Uber, the use of secondary data sources was warranted. Relevant courses and levels This case was crafted with senior undergraduate students in strategic management as the primary audience, but is also relevant for MBA-level strategy courses as well. This case touches upon core content in the vast majority of undergraduate strategic management courses with a special emphasis on two concepts underrepresented in most strategic management textbooks, stakeholder theory and ethical decision making.

Abstract:

SUMMARY We study the rise of the so-called ‘gig economy’ through the lens of Uber and its drivers in the United Kingdom. Using administrative data from Uber and a new representative survey of London drivers, we explore their backgrounds, earnings, and subjective well-being. We find that the vast majority of Uber drivers are male immigrants, primarily drawn from the bottom half of the London income distribution. Most transitioned out of permanent part- or full-time jobs and about half of drivers’ report that their incomes increased after partnering with Uber. After covering vehicle operation costs and Uber’s service fee, we estimate that the median London driver earns about £11 per hour spent logged into the app. But while Uber drivers remain at the lower end of the London income distribution, they report higher levels of life satisfaction than other workers. Consistent with a trade-off between evaluative and emotional well-being observed among the self-employed, they also report higher anxiety levels. We hypothesize that the higher life satisfaction among Uber drivers partly reflects their preferences for flexibility and the autonomy that the platform offers. We provide suggestive evidence showing that drivers who emphasize flexibility as an important motivation to join Uber also report higher levels of subjective well-being. However, a minority of drivers who report that they would prefer work as an employee report lower levels of life satisfaction and higher levels of anxiety. Overall, our findings highlight the importance of non-monetary factors in shaping the welfare of workers in the gig economy.

Abstract:

The failure of enterprise localization is the key problem that enterprises consider when developing internationally. Therefore, the topic researched in this paper analyzes the reasons for localization failure of Uber China. First, this paper reviews the direct reasons for leading localization failure of Uber China, including finance, product, after sales, policies, and other elements. Second, it compares Uber China with its biggest competitor in the industry, DiDichuxing, comparing their business models using the four elements model and analyzes whether both their characteristics and advantages have reference meaning or not. Finally, this paper compares the overseas expansion of Uber China and DiDichuxing. The research results indicate poor performance of Uber China for end users, convenient service with the advantages of global enterprises, and user dissatisfaction with its payment and after-sales. In the analysis of the business model, DiDichuxing performs better in customer value intentions and profit model. Consequently, through the comparisons of reason analysis, business mode, and overseas expansion, this paper suggests an marketing strategy, after-sales improvements, and consistent strategic focus, revenue focus, and management structure.

Abstract:

In the article, the author considers a legal position of a driver in relation to a transport service user and in relation to uber as a transport market maker and transporter, respectively freight forwarder. The driver's role in the uber system is largely determined with the legal nature of Uber's legal position by the principle of the seesaw toy. If uber has an intermediary role, then driver is a carrier, and vice versa, if uber has been deemed a carrier, then a driver has a role as a carrier's assistant. Also, if a driver has been considered as a carrier, then it is unclear whether he is a public or only a private carrier, having in mind an (in)definite number of users. In the first chapter of the article, the author explains the impact of the sharing economy and technical progress on creating a new mode of transport. Furthermore, the legal problem of the new way of providing a transport service has been highlighted, as well as a legal qualification of subjects involved in Uber's business structure. Finally, the author concludes that a driver should be deemed as a carrier's assistant, having in mind that uber as a carrier and as the organizer of the transport market has a decisive influence on the whole process of transporting a passenger (from the beginning phase to ending).

Abstract:

In their comment on the article on Uber driver-partners by Jonathan Hall and Alan Krueger, the authors analyze the article’s methodological problems, including sample bias, leading questions, selective reporting of findings, and an overestimation of driver earnings, which do not account for the full range of job-related expenses and is based on outdated data. The authors also argue that Hall and Krueger make unsubstantiated claims that extend beyond the scope of their research and ignore a rapidly growing literature that is critical of the Uber model as well as the broader for-hire vehicle industry in which Uber operates. As policymakers grapple with how to respond to transport network companies, the authors argue that a fuller understanding of the costs and benefits of services such as Uber is critical for making informed policies.

Abstract:

I use the case of the transportation network company Uber as a lens to explore the comparative politics of the platform economy in Europe and the United States. Within the advanced capitalist world, different countries have responded in very different ways to this new service, from welcome embrace and accommodating regulatory adjustments to complete rejection and legal bans. I analyze Uber’s arrival and reception in the United States, Germany, and Sweden, documenting three very different responses to this disruptive new actor. I show that conflicts over Uber centered on different issues in the three countries. These differences were consequential because the specific regulatory “flashpoints”that Uber provoked mobilized different actors, inspired the formation of different coalitions, and shaped the terms on which conflicts over Uber were framed and fought.

Abstract:

A partilha é uma ação em que as pessoas compartilham de bens, serviços e também sentimentos, experiências, conhecimento e informação. No entanto, uma nova geração de negócios, como o Uber, tornou a delimitação deste conceito mais difícil . A ideia de que os novos negócios da economia da partilha não sejam de fato representações de compartilhamento já está presente na literatura sobre o tema. Ainda assim, são escassos os trabalhos sobre os negócios definidos como pseudocompartilhamentos. Sobre o Uber, em particular, não há registro de trabalhos publicados nas revistas brasileiras de Administração. Diante dessa lacuna teórica, problematizamos o Uber no contexto da economia da partilha. Sem dúvida, trata-se de um caso exemplar para compreender diversos dos principais desafios da atual era do acesso, como a descreve Rifkin. Enfim, o Uber é um negócio da economia da partilha ou um falso compartilhamento para ganhar o mercado da partilha? Nesse trabalho, procuramos responder a essa pergunta sustentando a posição de que o Uber não é compartilhamento, mas um negócio que explora um mercado da partilha. Como produto dessa reflexão, oferecemos uma contribuição teórica para a análise de negócios que atuam no mercado da partilha.

Abstract:

In this inductive, qualitative study, we observe how Uber, a company often hailed as being the poster-child of the sharing economy facilitated through a digital platform may also at times represent and reinforce postcapitalist hyper-exploitation. Drawing on the motivations and lived experiences of 31 Uber drivers in Toronto, Canada, we provide insights into three groups of Uber drivers: (1) those that are driving part-time to earn extra money in conjunction with studying or doing other jobs, (2) those that are unemployed and for whom driving for Uber is the only source of income, and (3) professional drivers, who are trying to keep pace with the durable digital landscape and competitive marketplace. We emphasize the ways in which each driver group simultaneously acknowledges and rejects their own precarious employment by distancing techniques such as minimizing the risks and accentuating the advantages of the driver role. We relate these findings to a broader discussion about how driving for Uber fuels the traditional capitalist narrative that working hard and having a dream will lead to advancement, security and success. We conclude by discussing other alternative economies within the sharing economy.
