Matchmakers

by David S. Evans

The world has never shrunk so small. We can reserve a room for our travel half a year from now in the other hemisphere, reserve a dinner table, or even has a chance of dating some one, all of these can be achieved over a few simple actions on our cell phone! Big corporations such as Alibaba or Facebook, as well as new successful start-ups like Airbnb and Uber are such companies based on such matchmaking activities... Will this be a threat to traditional busnesses, and what can they do do avoid failure as well as to benefit from such chances...? Vietnamese translation by Tung Dang and 1221.
