Stakeholder’s Harms, Benefits and Rights Uber has five major stakeholders that are very beneficial to Ubers business process. The primary stakeholders are the independent contract partner drivers and the government. In addition, Uber must follow set regulations by each local government to be able to fully complete all business process in each location. Furthermore, another major stakeholder of Uber are the clients and passengers. The clients of Uber are business such as restaurants that have partner with Uber. In addition, the restaurants allow all Uber customers/passengers the option to have their food delivered by Uber. Furthermore, another major stakeholder of Uber are traditional taxi cab operators. Which have been very beneficial to the company because there has been many allegations against the Uber business from various locations. That Uber is preventing traditional cab companies to allocate profit. The traditional taxi operators assist Uber in design cost efficient and competitive prices that will not harm traditional business. Also, another major stakeholders of Uber are business directors and executives. Uber as a business have conducted and implemented many harmful tactics and policies. The primary issue that Uber has been deemed harmful are Uber taking and requiring all drivers to accept the percentage cuts. In addition, the higher percentage cuts will be deduct from each earned revenue the driver obtain while driver for Uber. This is a very harmful tactics
Customers are also stakeholders. They are different from employee stakeholders though. Customers are external stakeholder, this is because they don’t work for McDonald but they still buy products from them so they have an interest in McDonalds. This means that every customer who buys any product from any McDonalds franchise is a stakeholder. Even they only use McDonalds occasionally. But customers are interests in McDonalds for many different reasons, one might be that they a
Although I am one of Uber riders, I do not completely agree to her position. Uber, as a true example of sharing economy businesses, focus on what customer needs and let
There is a ongoing debate and controversy over whether Uber is safe and if it's undercutting the taxi industry.
In major cities across the globe today, many rely on the services of both taxicabs and Uber. Both allow users to reach their destination in a timely manner, but one service reigns supreme. The regulations and training requirements make tax far superior to Uber. Uber lacks the same levels of training and regulations one must possess in order to be a driver as compared to taxicabs. Some of the rules one must follow in order to be a driver of a taxicab are as follows: one must have a knowledgeable understanding of the streets they are navigating, one must dress nicely and professionally, and one must follow the provided rules in the guidebook. By using these rules and regulations, drivers are able to provide individuals with a safe and comfortable
John McDuling‘s article “Locals fight back against Uber in ridesharing battle” in the Australian Financial
The thesis of this article explains that despite surge pricing achieving the goal that it’s supposed to, (bring more drivers online and present available services to consumers who need them the most) most believe Uber is taking advantage of customers by using extreme multiplier prices. While the author states that this issue between price and product/service is giving Uber a relative degree of bad press, he also gives solutions as to how to fix this problem.
Since Uber burst on the scene in 2010, the ride-sharing service has quickly overpowered taxicab companies, attracting new workers and younger riders. The service, which allows ordinary people to use their personal cars to ferry paying passengers, is the subject of a potential class action lawsuit which may cost the start-up company millions.
Uber impacts the taxi industry business by being a popular name around the world. Most Australians did not even know that uber existed until it got introduced in 2012. Since Australia is the most multicultural country in the world a lot of people know what uber is so, as soon as it got introduced they stop using taxis and start using uber.
In most businesses, stakeholders are the customers, investors, shareholders, employees, suppliers, government agencies, communities and others who have an interest in a company’s products, operations, and markets (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2011). Ultimately, they not only influence the course and direction of the company, but the company can influence them as well (Attend, 2015). Additionally, there are secondary stakeholders, such as: media, trade associations, and special interest groups who can have a positive impact, especially in times of corruption (Attend, 2015).
Uber and Taxi cabs also share a lot of simple difference when it comes to the basic of the car. Taxi must charge the same rate all the time. Uber can surge on holidays or special events. Cabs care inspected by the city. Uber does not have inspections. Cabs get an FBI background check. Uber does its own background check. In addition Uber’s terms and conditions states that transportation can be potentially dangerous or unsafe and that you use the service at your own risk because there is no insurance covering the customer if there is an accident and because Uber cannot protect the safety of the
Although this may seem convenient in many cases Uber is not always available in unpopulated areas so it is not reliable. Based on demand, a taxi drivers rate never sky rockets unlike Uber. When they have surge, which is when they are being requested more often than usually their rates increase extremely. A ride that may have cost you about five dollars during regular days has changed to almost $30. This division may be over soon because no drivers may be necessary in the near future because of the upcoming driverless cars. Even people who teach languages have been mimicked by software such as Rosetta
Firstly, none of Taxi drivers don’t care about safety, insurance and rules. Anti-uber protest was created because, taxis couldn't compete with UberX drivers, which means less salary. Taxi drivers are desperate about their jobs, but it doesn't give them permission for violence during the protest. UberX is cheaper, convenient and they’re simply in trend. However, law must be followed by everyone, thus UberX drivers have to get licence, insurance and be safe enough to provide the service.
A stakeholder is an individual or group that is affected by the actions of a business. Being a stakeholder can happen by choosing such as, becoming an employee of a business, or by chance such as, living in the same municipal as another business that has an impact on the community. In general, a person or business has a stake in something because of interest, right or ownership of it. As the Fox School of Business must have hundreds of stakeholders, the following is a general list of major stakeholders.
A stakeholder is someone who is interested in a company or business, e.g. Tesco; they can either be an internal or external customer to the business. They may also be affected in a situation that happens to the company because they them selves may of given and invested money into the company or may just be interested in it and use it quite often. They can either have direct or indirect control of the business, internal usually being direct while external being indirect control of the business. Key stakeholders are those who draw in resources such as money
Stakeholders are either a person or a group of people that hold an interest in the business; this could be an interest in the product or services, or the operations of the business. There are different types of stakeholders, this include the employees of the business, the customers, the suppliers, the owners, local people, the government and the trade unions. Stakeholders have a huge influence on business, they can change a lot of the operations if they are unhappy, and the business must make an attempt to fulfil their wishes to have an effective company.
