  • Uber Technologies Inc.: Managing Opportunities and Challenges
    Center for Ethical Organizational Cultures Auburn University http://harbert.auburn.edu Uber Technologies Inc.: Managing Opportunities and Challenges INTRODUCTION Uber Technologies Inc. (Uber) is a tech startup that provides ride sharing services by facilitating a connection between independent contractors (drivers) and riders with the use of an app. Uber has expanded its operations to 58 countries around the world and is valued at around $41 billion. Because its services costs less than taking a traditional taxi, in the few years it has been in business Uber and similar ride sharing services have upended the taxi industry. The company has experienced resounding success and is looking toward expansion both internationally and within the United States. However, Uber’s rapid success is creating challenges in the form of legal and regulatory, social , and technical obstacles. The taxi industry, for instance, is arguing that Uber has an unfair advantage because it does not face the same licensing requirements as they do. Others accuse Uber of not vetting their drivers, creating potentially unsafe situations. An accusation of rape in India has brought this issue of safety to the forefront. Some major cities are banning ride sharing services like Uber because of these various concerns. Additionally, Uber has faced various lawsuits, including a lawsuit filed against them by its independent contractors. Its presence in the market has influenced lawmakers to draft new re gulations to govern this “app-driven” ride sharing system. Legislation can often hinder a company’s expansion opportunities because of the resources it must expend to comply with regulatory requirements. Uber has been highly praised for giving independent contractors an opportunity to earn money as long as they have a car while also offering convenient ways for consumers to get around at lower costs.

    Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting May 5, 2012 These notes are recollections only, without the aid of a recording device. They should not be relied upon. –PB WB: Good morning. I’m Warren and this hyperkinetic fellow is Charlie. We’ll conduct this pretty much as we have in past. We’ll take questions until 3:30, and then begin the regular meeting of shareholders at that time. Feel free to shop. See ‘s Candy has placed a lollipop at every seat, and if you could open the lollipop now we’ll post a picture on Facebook, and for the media. And now you can take off the cover and good part comes. CM and I have fudge and peanut brittle. If we’ve consumed 10k calories each we’ll have to stop early. We released Q1 earnings yesterday. In general, all our companies with the exception of those in residential construction have pretty much shown good earnings. Our five largest non-reinsurance companies all had record earnings last year, $9bil pre-tax. I said that I thought they would earn $10bil pretax this year, and nothing we have seen so far would cause me to backtrack on this. One cost at Geico is an accounting change or deferred policy acquisition cost, dpac. No change on cash, but took earnings down 250m pretax. It is a deferred advertising issue. We had a terrific Q1 at Geico, float grew and we had a 9% margin. The Dpac charges may affect 2Q and a little in 3Q, but underlying figures are somewhat better than what we’ve presented.

  • Music in I Ndiaiiapolis, 1900-1944'
    Music In I ndiaiiapolis, 1900-1944’ MARTHAF. EELLINGER Developments in music since nineteen hundred, which were based largely on the foundations pi’eviously laid, in- volved notable and significant advances. The outstanding features of this peviod are the establishment of the People’s Concert Association and the People’s Chorus, the foundation of the lndianapolis hranch of the National Federation of Music Clubs, the expansion of the Matinee Musicale, the rapid development of applied and theoretical music in the public schools, and the founding of the Indiana State Sym- phony Orchestra. In the early years of the century a group of citizens headed by Edward €3. Birge, Director of Music in the Public Schools, conceiving the idea oi offering good music, com- parable to that of the May fePtival days, on a non-profit sys- tem, and of making a bid for a larger audience, organized the People’s Concert Association. The sale of two or three thousand seats, at twenty-five or fifty cents each, would guarantee the engagement of fine artists, and at the same time afford opportunity for the production of major com- positions in which the local organizations would participate. Mindful of financial hazards, the committee at first sought and obtained eighty guarantors who promised to back the enterprise to the extent of ten dollars each, but as it turned out, no guarantor was ever asked to pay. The creation of an audience-a x:er*y large audience-was the crux of the problem, and it was solved iii a large measure by the fine co-operation of the puhlic school teaching staffs.

  • Marion County Jewish History
    Marion County History Indianapolis, the county seat for Marion County, also serves as the State Capitol. The city has been a transportation hub since the 1850s.1 While not the earliest settlement of Jews in Indiana, Indianapolis would become the center of the Jewish population in the state. The first Jews to the city came in 1849. The evolution of the Jewish community in Indianapolis was typical of the happenings statewide, with the first wave of immigrants being German Jews. Many of these Jews were peddlers, who took advantage of the blossoming city. From peddler, they were able to purchase small stores, growing eventually to some of the largest retailers in the state. Like the rest of the state, the Jews dominated the clothing and tailoring businesses. In 1860, 56% of the clothing businesses were owned by Jews. By the late 1860s, Eastern Europeans began moving into the city. What made Indianapolis unique was the ethnic diversity that allowed for many of the ethnic communities to found their own synagogues. In 1870, the Polish immigrants formed a prayer group that became Sharah Tefella. In 1884, the Hungarians organized Congregation Ohev Zedeck, and by 1889 the Russian community founded Knesses Israel. In 1906, a small group of Sephardic Jews settled in the city. Originally from Turkish Macedonia, they spoke Ladino, not Yiddish. These newest immigrants founded Congregation Sephard of Monastir in 1913. The Jews moving here prospered, although the German Jews with a greater willingness to assimilate, succeeded at a faster rate than their peers. Like the rest of the state, most of the Jews business owners fell into very distinct categories: peddlers (which led to dry good stores), tailors (which led to department stores and clothing stores), grocers, and scrap dealers.
