Does the company have an ethical and/or social responsibility to factor into its decision the impact that its move would have on the city and the U.S. overall?
Consider the following scenario:
A company that designs, manufactures, repairs, and provides technical support for mega-capacity, commercial-grade electronic data storage cabinets is considering relocating its manufacturing plant and administrative offices from a small city in the U.S. Midwest. Here are some details about the plan under consideration.
The company is considering moving 75% of its administrative offices to to a similar sized city in the Southern region of the U.S., with the other 25% (specifically, its website management, technical support, and some design engineering functions) being outsourced to a company in India.
The 75% of administrative employees whose functions would not be outsourced to India would be given the choice to voluntarily separate from the company, or to move to the new city and retain their positions. Those who move will retain their current salary levels, but the company will not provide any allowance for moving costs. The 25% of employees whose functions would be outsourced to India would be involuntarily separated (laid off).
The manufacturing and repair operations would be moved to Mexico.
The hourly employees of the manufacturing plant (all of whom are non-unionized) would be involuntarily separated (laid off). Workers would be hired at lower wages in Mexico, which is anticipated to improve the profitability and, thus, long-term viability and competitive success of the company. Management employees in the manufacturing plant would be given the choice to voluntarily separate from the company, or to retain their positions in the new plant in Mexico at their current salaries, but with no allowance for moving costs.
The executive management team has identified three key managers in the administrative offices and three key managers in the manufacturing plant who are seen as essential in getting the new facilities up and running.
To incentivize these six managers to relocate, they will be offered a special compensation package that includes moving costs, reimbursement for commissions and fees associated with selling their homes, a one-time cash bonus, stock options, and a 10% salary increase.
Approximately 20% of the residents of the city in which the company is currently located are employed by the company. Many others are employed in businesses, such as banks, personal services, restaurants, shopping centers, and supermarkets, which would suffer a decline in business if the company decides to relocate.
Address the following questions in your discussion board post:
Does the company have an ethical and/or social responsibility to factor into its decision the impact that its move would have on the city and the U.S. overall? Explain your reasoning.
What social costs are incurred when a company moves domestically or overseas?
What role do local and national government incentives, laws, and regulations play in a decision like this one?
Are there any product quality dimensions related to this decision?

Human Research Protection
During this course, you will learn the components required for a research study. Each week you will learn components of the research process through your readings and application of the knowledge gained to published research articles.
During this week, you are expected to examine the protection of human subjects in research from early research studies, through the development of research codes to current research standards. The aim is to familiarize you with the ethical issues associated with research and gain firsthand information of the processes used to protect research participants.

The assignment refers to the related lectures on Neural Networks, their design and applications.
Evidence of wider reading and critical thinking are strongly encouraged. The word limit is 2000
words. You should not exceed it. Additionally, I attached some of my lecturer’s PowerPoint to

Discuss how city and county residents are taxed for sport venues and whether public funding should be used for sport and entertainment venues
Discuss how city and county residents are taxed for sport venues and whether public funding should
be used for sport and entertainment venues (10 points).
Research and give one example of how public funding has been used to build a stadium (5 points).
Known as one of the worlds most spectacular venues, the Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta, Georgia
is the first LEED Platinum certified professional sports stadium in North America. The stadium is
home to the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United FC, and the Chick-fil-A-Kickoff Game. The construction
for the stadium broke ground in 2014 and opened to the public in August 2017.
Building Mercedes Benz Stadium was a controversial decision during the beginning of the proposal
process in 2010. In fact, Atlanta already had a stadium downtownthe Georgia Domethat debuted
in 1992 at a cost of $214 million ($398.8 million today) and was the second largest covered stadium in
the world (by capacity) at the time (Associated Press 2017). The Georgia Dome held historic events,
such as the 1996 Summer Olympics, NCAA mens final four, and hundreds of professional and
amateur sporting events throughout the years. The Georgia Dome had not even reached its 20th
birthday by the time discussions started on knocking down the facility and building a new one.
The Georgia Dome was demolished in 2017, and 95 percent of the stadium was recycled and reused.
The lot where the Georgia Dome once stood is now used as a green space known as the Home Depot
backyard, an 11-acre greenspace next to the Mercedes Benz stadium used for parking and tailgating as
well as events and programming on nongame days. The new stadium was able to get platinum LEED
certified recognition because
it saves 29 percent in energy usage in comparison to other stadiums,
rainwater is used for landscape irrigation,
it has 4,000 solar panels,
LED lighting throughout the facility reduces energy usage by as much as 60 percent, and
it has edible landscaping (Mercedes Benz Stadium 2020).
Arthur Blank has vowed to rehabilitate the west side of Atlanta by using Mercedes Benz Stadium as
the fulcrum that will help to spread success throughout Atlanta and the surrounding communities. In
fact, he created a plan called Westside Works, which is a long-term neighborhood program that is
focused on creating employment opportunities and job training for residents of the west side

community where Mercedes Benz Stadium is located. One of the programs within Westside Works is
a six-week culinary academy that trains chefs and is a pipeline to employment inside Levy Restaurant
venues in metro Atlanta, including Mercedes Benz Stadium (Solomon 2019). Since construction of
the stadium was completed, Mercedes Benz Stadium has hosted many events including a Super Bowl
in 2019 and the NCAA Mens Basketball tournament in 2020, and has made the list of possible
venues for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Both Mercedes Benz Stadium and the Georgia Dome used public funding through taxpayer dollars to
secure the construction of the stadium, with both promoters saying that stadium construction in that
area would help the community.

be used for sport and entertainment venues (10 points).
