Abstract

This case provides an interesting example of a traditional business being disrupted by a new business based on the sharing economy. Taxi Club Management (TCM) was the largest taxi fleet in New York City and was doing well until Uber came along. The case traces the entry of Uber and the disruption to TCM’s business, resulting in the eventual bankruptcy of TCM.
