The Uber company recently launched UberEATS (Uber's on-demand meal delivery) in South Africa, and UberRUSH (Uber's on-demand goods delivery network) will be launched shortly as a new project. The project manager and his team are determined that this will be successful. UberRUSH is part of a plan to minimise Uber drivers' waiting time between passengers and to help them allocate their time more productively. For example, in quieter times during the day, Uber drivers could deliver parcels when Uber has fewer requests for transporting passengers. Thus, Uber drivers would fill idle time between the morning and afternoon rush by delivering goods in an effort to earn more money. UberRUSH is mainly aimed at small businesses that want to save on courier costs or save on time spent on the road doing deliveries. Even businesses that could not otherwise afford an in-house delivery service might have the option of outsourcing delivery through Uber. The application allows users on both ends (customers and businesses) to track the delivery in real time, and only kilometres on the road are charged, as opposed to round-trip delivery costs. UberRUSH will charge small businesses fees that may in turn be charged to those customers who requested the delivery. Depending on the city and delivery location, fees to participating small businesses can include a base delivery fee, a per kilometre delivery fee and a minimum per trip fee. The project manager and his team are tasked with the above project and are required to conclude it in a timely manner and within the budget allocated.

The company recently began a series of construction projects in Montana,Pretoria, as well as an education campus in Waterfalls Midrand. Construction of a management campus is underway in Musgrove, Durban, including a medical school, and the Durbanville Campus in Phesantekraal. According to STADIO CEO Dr Chris Vorster, there is a huge business opportunity in the education industry. The original vision is to create a multiversity for at least 100 000 students and to expand from that. The expansion is highly feasible in that 100 000 students constitute only 5% of the total higher education market in South Africa. When the project comes to fruition, it will result in a cash flow of billions for the organisation. The plan for the Phesantekraal campus was approved by the Cape Town Municipality and the planned scope of the construction project has been finalised. The main constructor is World House Builders, and a host of sub-contractors are already on the site. SOURCE: Hypothetical MCOZ Marvellous Projects (2020) 3.1.
