market share in ride-sharing and a 26 percent market share in food delivery in the United States. Uber has
become so well-known in the sharing economy that uberisation, or the commoditization of service sectors
through the use of computing platforms, has been coined, and other firms have dubbed their services
"Uber for X." Uber has been chastised, like other comparable companies, for treating its drivers as gig
workers and independent contractors, disrupting taxicab operations, and increasing traffic congestion. The
corporation has been chastised for a number of unethical actions as well as failing to follow local
legislation.
Garrett Camp, a computer programmer and co-founder of StumbleUpon, and Travis Kalanick, who sold
his Red Swoosh firm for $19 million in 2007, established Uber as Ubercab in 2009.
Camp sought to discover a solution to cut the expense of direct transportation after he and his
buddies paid $800 on a private driver. He thought that splitting the cost with others would make
it more inexpensive, and his concept became Uber. Kalanick joined Camp and credits him with
"all credit for the Uber idea." Camp and his friends Oscar Salazar and Conrad Whelan
constructed the prototype, with Kalanick serving as the company's "mega adviser."

Amazon
The five tactics that will benefit Amazon marketing strategy the most include:
SEO- One of the most important marketing methods for Amazon merchants is SEO.
Amazon SEO is the process of optimising your product listings in order to improve their
ranking in Amazon search results. A better ranking equates to more sales. since 70% of
Amazon customers only look at the first page of Amazon search results They don't even
look at page two.
Follow these recommended practises to get started with Amazon SEO:
Perform keyword research to identify suitable search phrases for your items.
Include your core or major keyword in the headline of your product listing. Include your
core and associated keywords in the features and description of your product listing.
Add high-resolution product photos to your listing. Choose acceptable and relevant
product categories for your items. Set competitive product price that takes into account
Amazon seller fees and other expenditures.
PPC advertising- PPC advertising is a must-have Amazon marketing technique. Your
company's product listings will receive additional visitors as a result of Amazon
advertisements. Because Amazon provides a variety of targeting options, you can ensure
that your advertisements produce purchases by displaying them to the most relevant
buyers.
User-generated content- User-generated content, or UGC, is a marketing strategy that is
increasingly being used by Amazon. It's also easy to see why. People trust one another
when making a purchase decision. According to one survey, 80 percent of respondents
utilise social media for purchasing tips.
Video marketing
You may utilise video marketing to: Highlight the applications of your product
Display your product's design in great depth.
Provide instructions on how to set up and utilise your product and much more
Dedicated website- Companies who want to maximise their return on investment from
Amazon's marketing approach might consider building a separate website for their brand
and products. Anker, for example, built its brand on Amazon and now sells on both
Amazon and its own website. When you sell on your website and Amazon, you have
access to some of Amazon's most successful marketing methods, such as email
marketing, web design, user data, and conversion rate optimization (CRO). Because of
Amazon's business structure, these are methods that most Amazon sellers do not have
access to.
KPI’s of Amazon
Sales Advertising Cost Because this is Amazon's preferred method of reporting campaign and
keyword profitability statistics, it's critical to understand this measure and its ranges at the
account, product category, and traffic segment levels. Rate of Click-Through CTR is an excellent
metric for assessing the performance of adverts, their content, and the keywords that drive those
ads. Campaigns, keywords, or ASINs with a very low CTR may suggest poor product-keyword
alignment or unproductive search term traffic to avoid. Sales as a percentage Sales are deemed
new-to-brand if the consumer has not purchased a product from your brand in the previous 12
months. Analyzing your percentage of new customer sales might give insight into how many
new clients your adverts are bringing in for your company.
Philanthropy
Amazon has given over $20 million this year to strengthen Covid-19 testing and research; in
addition, the firm has invested in giving housing and shelter to individuals in need, as well as
millions of dollars to computer science programmes, education, and transportation development
efforts. Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and CEO, utilised the investment to form his Bezos Earth
Fund, whose "real-time" worth Forbes magazine puts at over $188 billion. According to the
Chronicle, the fund, which assists non-profits involved in the climate problem, has so far
distributed $790 million to 16 organisations.
BCG ANALYSIS
Cash cow - Some product categories generate enough money for a company organisation
to govern its many business units. These items are referred to as cash cows, and the
manager's job is to leverage these products and capitalise on their large market share in
order to generate large profits. Amazon has made a lot of money through the sale of its
retail products, prime subscriptions, and e-books, which have become a cash cow for the
corporation.
Star - The second category of product, Amazon Prime Air, is a part of the star or rising
star that holds a high market share as the name implies these products are emerging as the
leading revenue generator for a company, they do not generate the same financial return
as cash cow but the future growth of these business units is promising thus encouraging
management to continue with investment in them even though these products require
high investment they are in growing phasing.
Question mark - The next quadrant in the BCG Matrix is question marks. Amazon fresh
have the chances of growing into a profitable business however the limited market share
makes it impossible to use these business units as prime revenue generator the industry is
still in growth phase which indicates that question marks may emerge as a rising star if
the business is able to set the right direction for these products.
Dog -The final category in the BCG Matrix includes Amazon Auction, Amazon Studios,
and Amazon MP3, which are not generating high sales and have yet to establish a
significant market share.

BCG Analysis

Marketing performance analysis:
Brand ambassador- The company mainly puts strongly in celebrity promotion and
forces to be reckoned with promoting. India is insane over Bollywood and Flipkart uses
this to bring issues to light about their image and to advertise their platform and
products. Bollywood celebrities such as Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Varun
Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor, and Viral Kohli have all been brand ambassador who was
dominatingly included in Flipkart’s advertisements and digital advertisement campaigns.
Social madia marketing- Flipkart is a lot of followers and strongly focus on all social

Facebook, 2.5 Million followers on Instagram, 2.6 Million followers on Twitter, and so

point for the customers is feedback and customer reviews. The company has
concentrated on that by having different handles which simply center around Customer
Story named as FlipkartStories.
Celebrity endorsement- Flipkart is known for its joint efforts. It additionally puts
vigorously in celebrity force and big-name marketing. Flipkart continues to work
together with different renowned public figures every year. One of the prominent and
later joint collaborations being with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt
on “#IndiaKaFashionCapital”. There are many marketing campaigns of Flipkart such

most successful marketing campaigns of Flipkart featured Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt
together in one frame. Flipkart Fashion’s brand ambassadors, Ranbir and Alia, educate
consumers about always being ahead in their style game by ‘Wearing The Next’.
Google adwords- With regards to Search Ads, Google Adwords is the go-to choice.
Being an internet business stage, Search Ads on Google assume a critical part in
acquiring deals and traffic on the website as well. Nowadays customers simply go on
Google and look for any products and in case you’re not in the top outcomes, you’re
passing up a great opportunity. Accordingly, Google Ads are an unquestionable
requirement. Flipkart runs advertisements, mainly on search and shop promotions, via
cautiously contemplating and focusing on the right arrangement of keywords. For E-
Commerce platforms, Google Ads is a medium to drive the consideration towards their
foundation by showing up on the list of items of different stages.
Taboola- It is used by content publishers to attract users to view the different products
of the advertisers, or to gain revenues for referral traffic. Taboola offers advertisers more
than 1 billion users who have yet to discover your blogs, articles, videos, apps, and
more.
National & Multinational E-commerce companies are giving neck to neck competition
to each other, due to which their positioning is very important. Flipkart has positioned
itself as a trust worthy and customer friendly E-commerce brand.
a) Mission vission.
Flipkart's current vision is 'To become Amazon of India' and their mission revolves round
'Providing delightful customer experience'. Innovative mindset is one of the most
important competencies of Flipkart.
c) Philanthropy
d) BCG analysis.
Star- Flipkart’s marketing segment and in addition its gadgets section is a Star in the
BCG grid. The reason is that the fragment is developing and more and more clients are
getting acclimated with web purchasing of garments and gadgets things in India. As it
may, as the market is gigantic, the piece of the overall industry is less for every E-trade
player and they are contending energetically for it.
Cash Cow- The Flipkart cash cows are the books from which it started the career.
Flipkart is assessed to have a one-fifth share of the online retail showcase in India – how
can it plan to hold that share? One is grow coordination, a center quality where huge
ventures and innovation helped Flipkart turn into the best quality level in conveyance in
India. Flipkart ships books to the majority of India’s 21,000 PIN codes and covers over a
hundred urban communities for its arrangement of books.
Question Mark- Every single other portion apart from stars and cash cows of Flipkart
are question mark because of serious rivalry between the players. Productivity is low
general so what’s to come is obscure. For Flipkart, there is no alternative however to
extend quick crosswise over classifications to include decision for clients. Flipkart is
presently wagering enthusiastic about the commercial center model for development
which is an exceptionally alluring recommendation for level players who need to grow
quick crosswise over items and classes without significantly expanding settled expenses.
The objective is 10,000 to 15,000 affiliates in a year, up from the current 1,000.
Dog- Items in dogs quadrant ought to, for the most part, either get no backing or be
stripped — i.e., shut out. The thinking is that contending here will take a noteworthy
interest in time and cash since the organization has low piece of the pie and must remove
deals from contenders who might be better situated in the market. Consider the people
who offer mass-advertise items on Flipkart, wherein the main genuine approach to
contend is to continue slicing costs, bringing down edge, and profiting for the same
measure of exertion. So for the Flipkart there are no dogs, but for the brands that sell their
products on Flipkart can have dogs’ items.
Uber:
The five tactics that will benefit Uber marketing strategy the most include:
1. Advocacy for Early Adopters
2. Referrals
3. Reviews
4. Partnerships
5. An All-Inclusive Approach
Advocacy for Early Adopters- Uber has relied heavily on word-of-mouth marketing. The
corporation initially cultivated it by enlisting the help of Silicon Valley's leaders and shakers to
promote the brand. While many techies are always on the lookout for new products and services
that will revolutionise their lives, Uber has targeted them by sponsoring events, offering free rides
to first-time users, and adopting a hyper-local strategy that changes shape with each new location
it enters.
Referrals- Early adopters have now been allowed to use Uber's referral marketing scheme to give
free rides to their friends while also earning credits. This give-and-take scheme provided
newcomers with a more compelling motive to try the service. It's been a huge success for Uber as
well as some super-fans, with one of them earning over $50,000 in referral credits. Drivers are
also rewarded for referring others, making customer and "contractor" acquisitions faster and
easier.
Reviews- The transportation disruptor offers rating systems for both drivers and passengers,
which is a significant difference between it and typical taxis. Because passengers can't quickly
find out how they rank, drivers are likely to be more motivated by their ratings. In either case, the
system encourages driver and passenger confidence in Uber and improved behaviour. As a result,
there is less worry (or fear) about how chatty or intoxicated one's travel companion will be,
making things a little easier for everyone.
Partnerships- Uber has a variety of agreements in place to persuade both new and returning
consumers to take a trip. Capital One credit card holders can get discounted rides, Starwood
Hotels Preferred Guest members can earn hotel points for every Uber trip, and Spotify users can
link their profiles to their Uber accounts to listen to their music while riding. While the Capital
One and Starwood Hotels collaborations provide financial incentives for customers to ride, the
Spotify partnership is only a nice addition for people returning home from the bars. All of these
collaborations, on the other hand, lend respectability to the massive startup.
An All-Inclusive Approach- The seamless, multi-channel nature of Uber's marketing approach
and product is the most important feature. "Uber set out to rethink the entire [taxi] experience to
make it frictionless and pleasurable across the board," Sean Ellis, Everette Taylor, and Dylan la
Com write in an excellent Growth Hackers piece.
Uber didn't just repair one component of the system (for example, mobile payments for existing taxi
infrastructure), they overhauled the entire experience, from smartphone hailing to seamless payments,
nicer cars, no tipping, and driver reviews.
” When compared to the conventional manner of hailing or dialling a cab, the product taps into clients'
lives in a completely novel way.
Mission and vision
Mission: We improve the way the world works by reimagining it.
Vision: Uber is our name. The movers and shakers. People who are adamant about our aim of assisting
people in going anywhere and getting anything. What we do is move about. It's essential to our survival.
It's in our bloodstream. It's what motivates us to get out of bed every day. It forces us to always rethink
how we might move more efficiently. It's for you. For all of your travel plans. For whatever you wish to
buy. For all the different ways you wish to make money. Throughout the entire globe. Instantaneously. At
the breakneck speed of the present.
We invite people from all walks of life who want to contribute to a future in which everyone and
everything can move freely. Work with us if you have the curiosity, enthusiasm, and collaborative
attitude to help us move the world ahead.
KPI’s of Uber
Cash Cows
In Uber's BCG matrix, the strategic business unit of supplier management services is a cash cow.
This has been in existence for decades and has brought Uber a substantial amount of money. Uber
has a large market share, but the entire market is shrinking as corporations manage their own
suppliers rather than outsourcing them. Uber's best course of action is to stop investing in this
business and continue to operate this strategic business unit as long as it is profitable.
In Uber's BCG matrix, the Number 3 brand strategic business unit is a cash cow. This is a
ground-breaking product with a 25% market share in its sector. In this area, Uber is also the
market leader. In recent years, the overall category has been slowly dropping. In this category,
Uber has the ability to affect the market as well. As a result, it should invest in research and
development in order to innovate the brand. This will aid in the growth of the category and
convert this cash cow into a star. An increase in Uber sales would be the overall advantage.
In the BCG matrix, Uber's international food strategic business unit is a cash cow. This business
unit has a 30% market share in its sector, but people are becoming less interested in international
cuisine. The market's growth rate has slowed as a result of the shift in patterns. Uber's best course
of action is to invest enough to keep this crucial business area operational. Uber should liquidate
its crucial business segment if it no longer remains lucrative and becomes a dog.
Question Marks
In Uber's BCG matrix, the local foods strategic business unit is a question mark. Consumers are
increasingly focusing on local foods, according to recent market trends. As a result, this market is
experiencing rapid growth. Uber, on the other hand, has a small market share in this area. Uber's
advised strategy is to invest in research and development in order to develop new features. This
product development approach will ensure that this strategic business unit becomes a cash cow in
the future, bringing revenues to the firm.
In the BCG matrix, Uber's Number 4 brand strategic business unit is a question mark. This
important business unit operates in a fast-expanding market. However, in recent years, this
critical business segment has been losing money. It has also failed in research and development
teams' attempts at innovation. Uber's best course of action is to divest in order to avoid any
further losses.
In Uber's BCG matrix, the confectionary strategic business unit is a question mark. The
confectionary market is a lucrative one that has been rising steadily over time. Uber, on the other
hand, has a little market share in this lucrative industry. The low sales are due to Uber's limited
reach and distribution in this market. Uber's advised strategy is to drive for market penetration,
which entails making its product available in more locations. Uber's sales will soar as a result,
turning this strategic business segment into a cash cow.
Dogs
In Uber's BCG matrix, the plastic bags strategic business unit is a dog. For the past five years, this
critical business unit has been losing money. It also competes in a market that is contracting as a
result of rising environmental concerns. Uber's best bet is to sell this crucial business segment and
cut its losses as much as possible.
In the BCG matrix, Uber's Number 5 brand strategic business unit is a dog. This company is in a
market category that has been shrinking for the previous five years. This crucial business segment
is likewise losing money for the organisation. However, given the current environmental
developments, the industry is likely to grow in the future. Uber's best plan is to invest enough in
the company to turn it into a cash cow. If the market grows again in the future, this will secure
revenues for Uber.
In Uber's BCG matrix, the synthetic fibre products strategic business unit is a dog. The market for
such items has been shrinking, and as a result, Uber has lost money for the previous three years. It
has a market share of less than 5% as well. To avoid more losses, Uber's advised solution is to
liquidate this critical business unit.
Uber's strategic business unit for artificially flavoured items is a dog in the BCG matrix. These
products were recently introduced, with the expectation that this market will expand. However, as
people's awareness of health issues grows, they are less likely to use artificial flavours. The
market is diminishing, and Uber has a little share of it. The best strategy for Uber is to call this
product back.

Uber:
A: Compensation analysis and payroll analysis
After deducting Uber fees and driver vehicle expenses from customer fares, Uber driver pay
averages $11.77 per hour. This average hourly pay for Uber drivers is significantly lower than the
$32.06 average hourly pay for private-sector workers and the $14.99 average hourly pay for
workers in the lowest-paid major occupation (service occupation workers).
The "discretionary remuneration" received by Uber drivers after deducting Uber fees and vehicle
expenditures, as well as the additional Social Security and Medicare taxes that self-employed
drivers must pay, averages $10.87 per hour. Our definition of discretionary compensation is the
maximum income available to a driver for consumption, assuming that drivers do not provide
themselves with the same health and retirement benefits or social insurance programmes
(workers' compensation or unemployment insurance) that regular employees do.
B: Training and Recruitment Insights
Video games that convert work into fun are becoming increasingly popular. Uber recognises this and has
developed a video game that functions as a recruiting tool. UberDRIVE, a new iPhone app, simulates the
pathfinding and other skills that drivers will need to be an effective driver for them. According to the
organisation, the position serves two purposes: letting new drivers know if they're interested and capable
of being a driver, and allowing current drivers to improve their skills.
C: Employee Diversity- Demographic employee data
D: Employee Turnover
Uber has reached an all-time high. According to June numbers, the turnover rate was nearly 20%. If this
turnover rate is annualised over a year, one-fifth of the company's overall personnel will have left by the
following year. When questioned by reporters, Uber has stayed silent.
E: Learning and development
Despite investing in its employees' personal development, one of the issues the Greenlight team
encountered was a lack of opportunities for team members to enhance their leadership skills. Working in
such a fast-paced setting left little opportunity for the staff to develop and practise coaching techniques.
As a result, there were personnel who needed management experience but didn't have an opportunity to
get it.
F: People Analysis
There are a total of 26900 people working at Uber office apart from that there are several drivers and
delivery boys working for uber in the varied business of uber including uber eats.
