All you need to know about Uber http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-33281422


1. Do you think Uber can be successful in Japan? Why or Why not?


2. Uber is what is known as a "disruptive innovation"*?
Do you think these innovations are generally good or bad for the economy?

Other recent examples of disruptive innovations:
Skype - free phone calls!
Air BnB - Very cheap accommodation
Netflix - On demand TV
Youtube - Personalized TV


*A disruptive innovation is an innovation that helps create a new market and value network, and eventually disrupts an existing mar-ket and value network (over a few years or decades), displacing an earlier technology.
