2. Critically evaluate the relationship between
culture, power and politics overall and
how this affects the motivation for team
behaviour within Uber in the recent past
and today.
As per the scenario, this has been analysed that,
there is minimisation into effectiveness and production
of entity in case the three aspects such as culture,
power and politics are not efficiently opted (Cherry,
2020). The culture, power and politics are adapted
through UBER managers in pessimistic way then it

discrimination, may chances of to involved into some
