Poor example

Hey all,

Great day today. See at our team meeting Monday. I wanted to tell everyone that we’ve had a

change in HR Policies. These are kind of important, so everyone will need to listen up. There is a

new policy on travel reimbursements. You can’t just go take a trip anymore. The new policy

had specific rules that must be followed OR ELSE. The rules include obtaining approval in

advance for all travel. This must be obtained 30 days prior to travelling. You also have to use

corporate approved travel vendors for all travel including use of rental car agencies. You must

save all travel receipts to submit with your travel report. This includes Uber receipts. And, you

have to get those travel reports uploaded in the system within one week of travel. Man – that’s

a lot to do – but I know our team can make a difference and do it right. If you’ve got some

questions – just throw them over to me. Thanks.

Joe Smith

Part B (25 points)

The Earth Institute at Columbia University hosted a roundtable on the Sharing Economy. While

there are significant sustainability implications of the sharing economy, these are only

tangential to our interests. I want you to watch the roundtable discussion, follow up by

pursuing your own independent research, and then write approximately 500 words addressing

the following.

 What is meant by the “sharing economy”?

 How does the sharing economy better allocate underutilized resources?

 In so doing, how does it “create value”?
