Thousands of rooms, houses, yurts, and castles are reserved on Airbnb each day. Soon-to-be travelers, who are sometimes thousands of miles away from their future resting places, make their selections based on host provided descriptions, pictures, and former guest reviews. The latter are essential for building trust and giving travelers the confidence they need to interact with strangers. These trust mechanisms known as feedback loops or reputation systems are considered the “real innovation” of the sharing economy. Solving George Akerlof's seminal “lemons problem” and leading to a world where there is a “diminished need for regulatory oversight and legal remedies because consumers [can] police misconduct themselves,” according to University of Chicago law professor Lior Strahilevitz. Indeed, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky states “cities can't screen as well as technologies can screen. Companies have these magical things called reputation systems...government should exist as the place of last recourse” (emphasis added). Yet, approximately 95% of the offerings listed on Airbnb boast an average user-generated rating of either 4.5 or 5 stars (the maximum). Similarly, Uber, the peer-to-peer driving service, has indicated that only 1% of Uber drivers receive below three stars (out of five). Is it possible that all of those hosts and drivers are above average? Unlikely, even with the help of “magic.” In recent scholarly debates concerning the regulation of the sharing economy, the accuracy of the feedback mechanism incorporated into platforms has largely been unquestioned. However, new and existing evidence from the fields of economics, management, and behavioral psychology shows us that these reputation systems might be flawed, which can lead to uniformed decision-making and consumer fraud. As they develop new ways to regulate the sharing economy, scholars and regulators must take a critical look at their dependency on reputation systems. This Article is organized as follows. Section I briefly defines the sharing economy. Section II outlines the market failure of asymmetric information within the sharing economy and shows how scholars, regulators, and industry rely on reputation systems to correct for it. Part III demonstrates how reputation systems may be flawed. The Article concludes by offering potential solutions to address various forms of feedback loop failure. By exploring the limitations of reputations, this Article will hopefully help increase awareness among regulators of the problem and help them develop more effective regulations both inside and outside of the sharing economy.

The key to planning is thinking!! Tools and toys are to be used after there is a goal, and it takes some time to get there. Almost all failures can be tied to not thinking about-and rethinking- what you want and are after. So Part 1 of this book starts with attitude and perspective. Perspective and worldview is presented from a rather different viewpoint, in an attempt to get people out of their boxes and into the bigger systems. Then, we look at stories. Stories are the water we swim in, and we commonly don't grasp the weaknesses and limits of stories, a problem because we think exclusively in stories. Part 2 starts with a quite different perspective on stories, which expands our view of stories to increase the breadth of our thinking. Then we look at feedback, because if we are going to think, we've got to have something useful to think with and about. Next we look at the OODA cycle, a model for effective action and that part concludes with the key question: what problems should I be solving? Which is NOT the same as the problems shouting at you right now. Part 3 is getting what we want - or not. It starts with planning ideas and concepts, but spends most of the time on failure, because failure is both more interesting and more useful than success. Success is too often smoke and mirrors and moving the goalposts, whereas failure is that stinking mess sitting in front of you-or the best tuition you'll ever pay. Part 4 looks at problem solving-if such a thing is possible. It talks about complex problems and systems and approaches to solving the unsolvable. Finally, Part 5 is Dancing in the Storm-ideas for dealing with the chaos coming at you.

Clearly explaining the logical analysis of biological control phenomena, Biological Feedback answers questions concerning everything from regulation to logic. This rare monograph presents a formal methodology for analyzing the dynamic behavior of complex systems. The easy-to-read text describes a simple logical formalization called "kinetic logic". The reader discovers how this method is used to predict all possible patterns of behavior of which a system is capable. It includes specific conditions required for each pattern. It also explains how to modify an incorrect model in order to account for the observed behavior. The authors give special attention to the two basic types of simple feedback loops: positive and negative. This volume is filled with easy-to-use tables, providing quick reference throughout the book. The subject matter is of great interest to everyone working in molecular genetics and developmental biology. Researchers, immunologists, physical chemists, physicists, electrical engineers, economists, and mathematicians will find this unique text to be an informative, indispensable resource.

Featuring a new preface, afterword and Radically Candid Performance Review Bonus Chapter, the fully revised & updated edition of Radical Candor is packed with even more guidance to help you improve your relationships at work. 'Reading Radical Candor will help you build, lead, and inspire teams to do the best work of their lives.' – Sheryl Sandberg, author of Lean In. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all . . . right? While this advice may work for home life, as Kim Scott has seen first hand, it is a disaster when adopted by managers in the work place. Scott earned her stripes as a highly successful manager at Google before moving to Apple where she developed a class on optimal management. Radical Candor draws directly on her experiences at these cutting edge companies to reveal a new approach to effective management that delivers huge success by inspiring teams to work better together by embracing fierce conversations. Radical Candor is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on the one side and ruinously empathetic on the other. It is about providing guidance, which involves a mix of praise as well as criticism – delivered to produce better results and help your employees develop their skills and increase success. Great bosses have a strong relationship with their employees, and Scott has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees: make it personal, get stuff done, and understand why it matters. Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Drawing on years of first-hand experience, and distilled clearly to give practical advice to the reader, Radical Candor shows you how to be successful while retaining your integrity and humanity. Radical Candor is the perfect handbook for those who are looking to find meaning in their job and create an environment where people love both their work and their colleagues, and are motivated to strive to ever greater success.

System Test and Diagnosis is the first book on test and diagnosis at the system level, defined as any aggregation of related elements that together form an entity of sufficient complexity for which it is impractical to treat all of the elements at the lowest level of detail. The ideas presented emphasize that it is possible to diagnose complex systems efficiently. Since the notion of system is hierarchical, these ideas are applicable to all levels. The philosophy is presented in the context of a model-based approach, using the information flow model, that focuses on the information provided by the tests rather than the functions embedded in the system. Detailed algorithms are offered for evaluating system testability, performing efficient diagnosis, verifying and validating the models, and constructing an architecture for system maintenance. Several advanced algorithms, not commonly available in existing diagnosis tools, are discussed, including reasoning with inexact or uncertain test data, breaking large problems into manageable smaller problems, diagnosing systems with time sensitive information and time dependent tests and learning from experience. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides motivation for careful development of the subject and the second part provides the tools necessary for analyzing system testability and computing diagnostic strategies. The third part presents advanced topics in diagnosis. Several case studies are provided, including a single detailed case study. Smaller case studies describe experiences from actual applications of the methods discussed. The detailed case study walks the reader through a complete analysis of a system to illustrate the concepts and describe the analyses that are possible. All case studies are based upon real systems that have been modeled for the purposes of diagnosis. System Test and Diagnosis is the culmination of nearly twelve years of research into diagnosis modeling and its applications. It is designed as a primary reference for engineers and practitioners interested in system test and diagnosis.

A practical guide to adopting an accurate risk analysis methodology The Failure of Risk Management provides effective solutionstosignificantfaults in current risk analysis methods. Conventional approaches to managing risk lack accurate quantitative analysis methods, yielding strategies that can actually make things worse. Many widely used methods have no systems to measure performance, resulting in inaccurate selection and ineffective application of risk management strategies. These fundamental flaws propagate unrealistic perceptions of risk in business, government, and the general public. This book provides expert examination of essential areas of risk management, including risk assessment and evaluation methods, risk mitigation strategies, common errors in quantitative models, and more. Guidance on topics such as probability modelling and empirical inputs emphasizes the efficacy of appropriate risk methodology in practical applications. Recognized as a leader in the field of risk management, author Douglas W. Hubbard combines science-based analysis with real-world examples to present a detailed investigation of risk management practices. This revised and updated second edition includes updated data sets and checklists, expanded coverage of innovative statistical methods, and new cases of current risk management issues such as data breaches and natural disasters. Identify deficiencies in your current risk management strategy and take appropriate corrective measures Adopt a calibrated approach to risk analysis using up-to-date statistical tools Employ accurate quantitative risk analysis and modelling methods Keep pace with new developments in the rapidly expanding risk analysis industry Risk analysis is a vital component of government policy, public safety, banking and finance, and many other public and private institutions. The Failure of Risk Management: Why It's Broken and How to Fix It is a valuable resource for business leaders, policy makers, managers, consultants, and practitioners across industries.
