Question
Chapter 7, Problem 1OCQ
To determine
The ways Uber is using its network to improve its competitive advantage in the taxi market.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1OCQ
Solution:
Uber has increased the availability of cabs at different pickup locations and at any time. It uses latest technologies like GPS tracking and mobile phone apps to reach out the customers and thus gain the competitive advantage over other taxis.
Explanation of Solution
Value and demand for uber relies on the number of clients. Uber uses latest technologies such as GPS tracking, GIS and smart phone apps to reach out the riders and drivers and communicates through the technology, which makes it easier for the customers to book the cab and therefore the number of customer increases.
With increase in the number of customers the demand for uber will also increase. As the number of drivers and riders increased, it becomes easy for the clients to get the rides on time without waiting on odd hours and at different pickup locations.
Increased availability of uber cabs at different pickup locations and even on odd hours makes the Uber experience favorable for the clients and this favorable experience attracts more clients to the Uber.
This increased number of clients sustains the loop of positive feedbacks thus it gives Uber the competitive advantage. Therefore, it can be said that these network technologies help uber to gain the competitive advantages over other taxis.
Conclusion:
Thus, it can be concluded that by use of latest technology the availability of cars increased and it becomes easy to access Uber and thus Uber gets the competitive advantage.

- Homework#8arrow_forward1. Plot the SWRC (suction vs. volumetric water content) from the van Genuchten (1980) model for the following “base-case” parameters (assume m = 1-1/nvG): alpha vG = 0.35 kPa-1, nvG = 2.2,Delta res = 0.02, and delta S = delta sat = 0.45. These values are approximately representative of a sand.Perform a sensitivity analysis on each of the base case parameters (i.e., vary each by ±10% while holding the other three constant) to determine their relative effects on the SWRC. For example, how would a change in s alter the curve if the other base case parameters stay the same? In your answer, provide 4 plots for the parametric evaluation of each parameter as well as a brief qualitative explanation for each plot (for example, when investigating the effect of alpha vG, show the base-case curve and the curves with different values of alpha vG on the same plot). Be sure that suction is plotted on a logarithmic scale.

When I reached out to the manufacturer, they asked for the total power consumption the converter would need to handle.To estimate this, I calculated the power requirements for the components that will use the 120 VDC supply: interior lighting, end lights, and buzzers. The breakdown is as follows:- Light Bulbs: 16 bulbs at 10 W each = 160 W- Buzzers: 2 buzzers at 5 W each = 10 W- End Lights: 2 lights at 15 W each = 30 W This results in a total estimated power demand of 200 W.My concern is whether I should request a higher wattage rating for the converter to provide sufficient tolerance and ensure the system operates efficiently without risking an overload.
