What makes us different

Our Business Model is unique. The normal taxi service will be the backbone of our

revenue stream as it will be at the same price points as competitors.

The vehicles in the normal service use petrol however, we have a carbon offset program to ensure that every tonne of carbon emitted by the vehicles would be offset by planting an equal amount of trees. We should do hybrid cars and planting trees can be included along with that. That will fit into culture as well. Also the cost of planting trees i assume incorporates time, money, coordination and so on which makes it a greater effort to do it.

Our targets Besides the general Taxi operating, we

want to target environmentally aware customers, companies and groups. Targets could be: Green hotels where by we are there

main source of taxis for the patrons. Large corporations who want to lower

their carbon footprint.

External environment Society’s attitudes -

Our service needs to be exceptional to ensure that potential patrons would be willing to pay the premium for it.

Economic conditions – Current economic conditions are not

favorable for a large bank loan, however, with a strong business model and a large customer base willing to pay for a premium service, revenue streams would be high.

External environment Education and training conditions –

The education and training conditions today are good for taxi driver’s as more people are looking for a well earning job and more students are looking for ways to supplement their income.

Technological factors- Using a radio frequency for commercial purposes requires a

license from ACMA (Australian Communication Media Authority)

Legal-political factors – There are stringent regulations regarding drivers, vehicles

allowed, color schemes and the availability of a taxi license. Our service would have to follow these regulations to stay in business.

Culture

Our culture needs to reflect not only our vision and mission statement but society as a whole.o Embrace diversity in people.o Consider environmental consequences.o Equal opportunity.

To teach and grow our culture to all staff, Human Resources will implement our culture in the induction, training, programs and any other possible.

Culture Ways to encourage our culture

o Lead by example in management and industry.o Managers would be in line with the corporate

culture and be environmentally considerate in their actions.

o Recruiting applicants who are inline with their culture.

Ways to breed our environmentally friendly culture is to:

o Recycle eg paper, ink cartridges, biodegrable office supplies and other similar actions.

o Provide an allowance for workers who get to work without polluting i.e ride to work or walk.

Our team There are 6 members form diverse

backgrounds. Working as virtual team mostly using Facebook

and email for our communication. Although the communication is fast, it can create miscommunication at times because it is text based.

Weekly meetings and discussions are important to keep ourselves on the right path. Vision and mission can be lost if the team is not kept focused on the end goal.

Group Development Tuckman Group Development Model.

Forming: Meet and break the ice. Uncertainty is rife.

Storming: Differences in opinions on how to perform the task. Many disagreements and jostling for position.

Norming: Goals, objectives and norms are created and accepted.

Performing: Problems are being solved and tasks are being completed. Little disagreement arises.

Adjourning: When the project is complete or the team is no longer required they disband.

Our Group Development

Forming:o Our group was formed by location. We just joint

with those around us. It was not based on skills, experience and personality.

o We did not know each other which brought uncertainty, including where we might fit.

Storming:o Uncertainty over what the actual task was

caused problems.o Product choice raised many arguments and this

can be attributed in part to virtual communication over Facebook.

o Miscommunication due to language and cultural differences.

Our Group Development Norming:

o We began to form behaviours and communication norms. The understanding that disagreements are acceptable and arguments are not.

o Positions in the group had become accepted and allowed for greater structure.

o Who does what, how when and why is established and accepted.

o Performing: o Set tasks get completed on time.o Issues are resolved quickly, including

disagreements over the power point structure.o Adjourning: At the end of this presentation.

Diversity in our group Diversity is the differences and

similarities between individuals and groups.

Primary dimensions: Differences that are visible to others and are impossible or difficult for individuals to change.

Secondary: Characteristics that the individual has control over.

(Davidson P 2008)

Diversity in our group

Diversity similarities and differences in our group Similarities:
