Clayton Christensen recently commented that, while Uber is innovative, it doesn’t meet the criteria of a disruptive business, in that it didn’t originate in a low-end market and move upstream to higher value mar […]

I think you bring up some valid points about the taxi industry, but I think that when logically looking at Uber, it is just an innovation. Christensen’s stance on Uber is something that I am in complete agreement with because Uber has just figured out a way to further the taxi industry. This is just an innovation because they have developed a way to order cabs through a mobile and web platform, and they arrive right at your doorstep. This is nothing different from the main idea of what cabs are doing which is getting you from point A to point B. If Uber innovated some new form of travel this may be considered a disruptive innovation where they impact the whole cab market, and this could only happen if they broke through several performance indicators. Overall, I think you present a valid argument for your point, but my rebuttal, in unison with Christensen, is that Uber is just another innovation.

I believe that the fear of hackers getting private data from cloud solutions is pointless. The risk is still there whether it’s in-house or a 3rd party, it’s just the fact that your company has less control over security measures. Though, a vendor with poor security, a history of being hacked, etc. will lose business. Seeing how it is one of the large risks of their product (data storage), they should be highly motivated to prevent any breaches. Employees are definitely a bigger security risk, especially considering many studies showing that employees are actually the highest.

During my internship at QVC I noticed quite often that people were storing work files on their personal Dropbox accounts and Google Drive accounts. This directly relates to how NASA’s employees were storing proprietary information on the cloud, and I think that there should be a strict restriction on access to these cloud accounts. There are numerous companies out there that restrict access to the cloud in order to prevent the upload/download of company files. I believe that employees are the bigger security risk when it comes to dealing with sensitive information. Companies should realize that employees have high-level access to their information, and this could prove critical if a file is uploaded to a public cloud by accident. A vendor, like Quy mentioned, will just lose their reputation and business and this will cause immense damage to them.

Last week, part of our course materials dealt with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and how it is used to develop stronger relationships between businesses and customers. JPMorgan Chase is taking the lead […]

I was unable to read the source article due to the paywall it’s behind, but this seems like an interesting new initiative JPMorgan Chase is making. Certainly there will be customers who decide to take their business elsewhere due to privacy concerns; however, I think it’s becoming more and more evident that the majority of people will tend to side with convenience over privacy and security. I can definitely see more banks jumping on board and adapting more innovative CRM systems like this, especially if JPMorgan Chase sees the positive results that they’re expecting. Having said that, I can also see this becoming more of an optional service that banks could provide so as to not lose any customers who do have actual privacy concerns.
