2. 1. What is Uber's operating model?
Uber's business concept is a marketplace approach, in
which consumers may contact cabs. As a result, the
user may get to the cab with a single click.
Uber would charge a fee of 20-30% for the service and
raise the price when there is significant demand.

Yes, there are additional reasons for drivers to prefer Uber aside from
the economic one:
● They could readily imagine the area being crowded with
customers.
● They might select consumers based on user feedback.
● There is a lending concept in which Uber assists drivers in
obtaining taxis.
● Clients can be easily reached.

8. 7. How robust is Uber's operating model? where are the weak
links in its service model? Is Uber vulnerable ? In what way?
8
Weaknesses in UBER:
● Uber's idea is original, yet it is readily duplicated.
● There is no emotional or relationship between the company and its
consumer.
● The cost of operating in high-traffic areas is quite expensive. As a
result, margins may be small.
● Customer switching costs are quite cheap.
● Government inventions and erratic labour rules make the business
model extremely volatile.

9. 7. How robust is Uber's operating model? where are the weak
links in its service model? Is Uber vulnerable ? In what way?
Yes, we believe UBER's business model is vulnerable:
Privacy concerns :
Cyber hacking of customers private data make the service vulnerable
Competition :
The business model is very easily imitable and threatt of new entrants is very
high
Switching cost of Drivers:
The switching cost of driver is very low between the competitors
Internet Dependency:
The dependency on internet is very high
