Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While creative destruction and disruptive innovation change the entrepreneurial landscape; regulation - especially regulation of sectorial markets and competition regulation - can delay this change or even bring it to a halt. Uber plays an active role between these two forces: first as an agent of creative destruction and then possibly in championing regulation on its own terms. Grounded in a particular understanding of the economic concept of the market as a series of processes, this book explores the implications of creative destruction, competition regulation and the role that businesses play. Instead of discussing these relations in a purely abstract manner, this book uses Uber as a case study.
