This is the tenth and final session of PhD Plus Business in Society: adding value with your PhD skills series.
In this session, we will pull together your learnings from the course and apply them to analyze and discuss the company Uber. What is the mission and values of a company like Uber? For whom do they create value and how? How do they think about their competitive position in the marketplace and how does that influence their behavior? And, lastly, what would you advise the company about their future direction and how would you exercise your voice if you worked for Uber?
