Deliverables:

1. A company is considering the relocation of its manufacturing plant and administrative offices from a small city in the Midwest to a similar-sized city in the South. Approximately 20 percent of the residents of the city are employed by the company, and many others are employed in businesses such as banks, personal services, restaurants, shopping centers, and supermarkets that would suffer a decline in business if the company decides to relocate. Does the company have a social responsibility to factor into its decision the impact that its move would have on the city? Explain your reasoning.

The owner currently has a single outlet open, which has proved to be very popular, and there are often waiting lines of customers.

What trade-offs would there be in opening one additional site versus opening several additional sites?
