Question

1. Companies like Uber, Lyft (one of Uber’s main competitors), and Airbnb (an online marketplace that enables people to lease or rent short-term lodging) are innovating in fields that traditionally have been very complex and regulated. Can Uber’s business model be applied in other industries globally?

Answer 1

Answer:

Globalization has led to the influx of multinationals in many developing and under developed countries. With the advancement of technology this process has increased and influenced many industries.

Uber is providing convenience to its users to fill the gap between the service provider and service user through a platform

This platform has led to bridge the gap between the user and seller of service.

This convenience can be used not only in the transportation of consumer but can also be used in carrier pick ups. Delivery of foods and mails etc.

It can also be used across industries like in medical industry to provide emergency ambulances. Bridging the gap between medical assistance by providing medical services through apps connecting doctors and patients.

It is being used in freelancing industry as well. To provide a platform for provider of service and consumer.

However in entering into different industries the legal aspects are to be considered to avoid any backlash.
