Vinay Shah commented on the post, Case Question: Volkswagen Process Assessment, on the site 9 years, 7 months ago
The new process for managing priorities at Volkswagen of America has improved. By allowing representatives from different business units and having each group come up with a proposal, and putting them on a “functional wall” was a great idea. Every so often businesses spend a lot of money on waste. Volkswagen tried to get ideas from all the dif…[Read more]

I was just reading this article and thought it was interesting. It’s amazing how far the internet has evolved. Vurb should be amazing(assuming it works). I think it can be the next Google.

I consider myself a tech guy. I really like reading about all the new technology that comes out(if I have time). It always amazes me how far technology has come and where the possibilities are. With self-driving cars that Apple is trying to introduce in 2020, and Elon Musk inspiring a group to work on the Hyperloop(which is exciting). I really…[Read more]

Hey Saqib,
That is a pretty funny story. I have thought about this for a while, I couldn’t come up in a 5 year old language and couldn’t remember what words to use, so I passe on this prompt. However, I was just thinking if a 5 year old would understand that people can manipulate the system and that companies have to try to figure out how to…[Read more] -

I agree with you Paul that having computer chips will help reduce some fraud with credit cards. As long as companies don’t stop at these chips and try to continually update their system, consumers should feel safe. At some point, hackers will be able to figure out how to hack the chips, maybe using RFID chips or whatever else may come in the…[Read more]

At the present time, I don’t think retailers and credit companies have done enough to keep financial information secure. However, with the recent hacks at Target, JP Morgan and Anthem, companies are now starting to pay attention to cyber crime and security. By hiring FireEye to monitor its systems, Target was trying to prove to its consumers t…[Read more]

I have not used either platform before, but my sister uses Uber all the time. I also have many friends that use Uber and love it. While I have read the negative reviews that Uber has gotten in the press lately, I feel the company is a great company. I really like the Uber platform on the phones. It makes it easy to use and to be able to spot when…[Read more]

Vinay Shah commented on the post, Case Question: Airbnb — Information Sharing, on the site 9 years, 8 months ago
Saqib,
I agree with you that having an “elite” reviewer would be helpful. I think it would definitely weed out fake reviews. The other thing after reading your post would be to we out reviews that occur with the same IP address. AirBnB can also get confirmation that the reviewer stayed at the property by providing some specific detail about the…[Read more] -

Renter’s and hosts both need specific information when determining their potential picks. Renter’s usually want to make sure that the place is clean and the price is affordable. As a renter, those would be my primary concerns. The rest may depend on location, size, and amenities. For me, this would be similar to a hotel. The other thing I wou…[Read more]

Vinay Shah commented on the post, Case Question: Airbnb — "EJ" Incident, on the site 9 years, 8 months ago
Incidents that EJ had should never occur. It’s like the golden rule, “Treat people as you want to be treated.” People should not destroy other’s property. That said, this isn’t always true. You’ll always find someone that doesn’t care about anything else, but their own self. Airbnb essentially did everything they could after the incident, but…[Read more]

Hey Duke,
Like you, I love gadgets as well. I am a huge android fan and I am waiting for March 1 when Samsung announces its new Galaxy S6 and HTC will announce its new phone as well. I also love using fitbit as it does help motivate me to work out(however, I lost my fitbit when I was working out). I am currently in the process of maybe getting…[Read more]
