Abstract
From its humble origin in 2003, BlaBlaCar has become a preferred ride-sharing platform for the passengers across Europe. BlaBlaCar is an online marketplace that connects drivers and passengers and helps them share the costs of journeys. In so doing, it creates value for both sides of the platform. Drivers save money of the cost of the trip, and passengers get a low-cost option to reach their destination. The case follows the company from the inception to its growth and current challenges. The case helps the students in understanding the business of digital platforms as it relates to value creation for the customers, matching the value proposition for two sides, revenue and pricing strategies, and the crucial role of trust in sharing economy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
