Your initial post in this discussion must be informed by the required material for this discussion.

The required material for this discussion will introduce you to what is new about Uber as a business model, the profit incentive in business, and how laws can make or break innovation in business.

Your preparation should focus on the characteristics of capitalism and socialism, as well as other business concepts presented in the required material.

Since your initial post in this discussion will examine the relation between running a business such as Uber and the laws and economic system of the nation(s) in which it operates, make sure to comb the material on Uber for laws, regulations, and the economic setting that affect its operations.

You are encouraged to research relevant laws and regulations to make sure that you have current information.

You will also need to review the material on the three ethical theories employed in the Week One Discussion as you will draw from that material for this week's discussion too.
