Uber Case Study – Assignment 11.2

The story of Uber began on a cold winter’s night in Paris in 2008, when Garrett Camp and Trent Kalanick had trouble hailing a cab. In true entrepreneurial style, rather than complain about the problem, the two men developed an idea for a limo timeshare service that would be a mobile, fast, and upper-class option for travelers. Camp thought the idea would accomplish his goal of developing an iPhone app to help with the taxi issues in San Francisco. Camp began to work on the app in March 2009, and by mid-2009, Kalanick joined the firm as Uber’s chief incubator. The first test run was conducted in New York in 2010 and the app was officially launched in San Francisco on May 31, 2010. Garrett Camp could not have known that his prototyping of an iPhone app would revolutionize the transportation business, and impact what is known today as the “sharing economy’. Little did anyone imagine that the COVID virus would have a significant impact on Uber’s strategic plan.
Uber created a disruptive technology in the for-hire customer transportation industry. Read the case study and, using a CURRENT SEC FORM 10K, prepare an analysis of Uber addressing the following issues:
– Characterize the effectiveness of Uber’s competitive strategy
– Discuss the outside forces affecting Uber’s performance.

Conducting an Annotated Bibliography

There is an accepted format for an annotated bibliography. You will see this through your own research. The title, author, publisher, and APA citing of the source is the heading for this article. Center this entire heading. Then, a few paragraphs are written to summarize what you learned about the article or topic.

Additional information focuses on why the article was written, or what is the point of the content. Does the content cover additional topics? Then, you will give your opinion of the article or content by critiquing it. For example, what points do you agree with and what objections do you see? Include other writings that may be similar and how you observed this parallel of the topic by this author. Finally, provide your point of view on the content and why.

Typically, each bibliography is one page or less. It can also be only a paragraph depending on what the content tells you. It is organized to show your research on a topic in a condensed format. There are various types of annotated bibliographies, depending on the purpose of the task. This type of annotated bibliography is known as an informative bibliography.

Research articles, summarize and critique articles or books, and then write an annotated bibliography of seven sources. Using your knowledge from this week’s reading and research, develop a well-formatted summary of each author’s work. Some sources may be longer than others. A paragraph is sufficient as long as you have covered the content. Usually, two or three paragraphs are needed. However, this is a summary that can be quickly scanned to understand the points of the content.
