Case Study: Uber Eats -Just in time

Uber Eats is an online food-ordering app that was launched first in Los Angeles, USA in the year 2014. The company originally started as Uber Fresh and later changed its name to Uber Eats. Uber, which is a well-known ride-sharing app, based company decided to try their hand in delivering food as well because they believed it would be a good opportunity for them to diversify the brand into a different venture. Uber did not want to restrict itself in the terms of only mobilizing humans with its fleet of cabs but it also wanted to go ahead with the idea of mobilizing fresh food. Initially, Uber Eats started with delivering meals only during the lunchtime but with time they decided to change it as an app that delivers fresh food both during lunch and dinner times. When a customer orders food through Uber Eats, a well-trained Uber driver will deliver the ordered food in special lunch bags which keeps the food items as either very hot or very cold depending upon the food item. The customers can conveniently track the progress of their order on their mobile screen (Carson, 2016).

What is the social dilemma for the service industry during a pandemic (Hair and Nail salons, Personal training, massage therapy)? replay to these two people , did you agree with them or not

this is a discussion question write your opinion.

1. For Employees

Probably the biggest social dilemma for service industry employees is just; do we keep serving the public even though it might be bad for everyone involved? This type of industry revolves around employees doing things for customers that involves touching them or being close to them; you can't really give a massage without touching them, getting your nails done involves being very close to another individual, etc.. Unfortunately, this pandemic is commonly spread through people touching each other, and being close together, and every news article and medical professional has spoken about the need and importance of social distancing.  So for workers in this industry the dilemma becomes, do I keep providing services because it is my job and how I get my paycheck, or do I stop providing services and lose revenue but I may be better able to protect myself and others? Many from the service industry are struggling to find the right answer, and many places have shut down, or suspended services for the time being. Unfortunately, if this pandemic continues in the long term, this will not be a solution and many places may have to shut their doors.

2. Customer/Consumer

Don't forget about the consumers. I typically get my hair cut this time of year. I personally want my hairstylist to be available. But I have to remember that:

1) There are lots of other people who normally get their hair cut, who haven't because she's closed so she may not be available for awhile after she is officially back open

2) My stylist has children and wants to protect them, plus her kids are home from school so she may not be able to leave them home alone

3) She will most likely have to sanitize everything in-between customers which adds time and might cause her to raise her prices. which could make me consider going to someone cheaper as I consider my expectations

As a consumer, I still have my expectations. (You really don't want me to cut my own hair) So I fight with myself about the fact COVID-19 isn't the plague but it also isn't the common cold. Being patient and letting my hair grow a little longer won't be the end of me.

This will end up being a time of going without creature comforts for awhile.

Do our personal ethics change with the anonymities we use online?

Applicants to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police must pass a written examination, an interview, and a physical ability test before being accepted for basic training at the RCMP’s training center in Regina. As a federally regulated agency, the RCPM falls under the jurisdiction of the Employment Equity Act. Designed to further the employment of women, visible minorities, and other designated groups. The RCMP has had difficulty meeting recruiting targets of 20% women, 4.5% Aboriginal people, and 8.3% visible minorities that were set in compliance with the objectives of the Act. A review of testing data showed that Aboriginal peoples and visible minorities scored slightly lower than other groups ion the written tests and that 40-50% of women applicants fail the physical ability test, a rate considerably higher than that for men. In response to concerns over failing to meet its recruiting objectives, the RCMP undertook a revision of the examination, which assesses cognitive ability. The new test retains, “academic’ items related to composition and computation, but it also has new items in the form of scenarios that are directed at problem solving. The new questions are more job directed and operational in nature. The test items were rewritten to minimize the impact of different regional language styles to ensure that the questions are fair and equitable for all applicants. With respect to the physical ability test, women had particular difficulty with the upper body strength requirements. To deal with this problem, the RCMP instituted a six-week training pretraining in fitness program to help women prepare for the fitness test. It also revised the evaluation procedure. The following document provides information on the new physical ability requirement and provides information on how to prepare for the test.

oue 2 looks at another method that can be used to improve the number of minority applicants: banding. This procedure is also controversial. You may want to read that section now and discuss this as an option. How would the public likely react to using banding?

In the 1930s, industrial psychologist Elton Mayo was commissioned to perform a series of experiments at Western Electric Hawthorne plant. These are known as the "Hawthorne Studies," designed to observe worker performance and output levels in varying illumination conditions. The so-called Hawthorne or Observer Effect has led to many organizational theories, which were advanced to understand, explain, and predict worker behaviors.

Research and discuss the Hawthorne experiments and their relevance to organizations today. Afterward, compare the Hawthorne Effect with the modern-day practice of Micromanagement. What are their benefits and criticisms? How can managers apply these concepts to improve worker performance?
