Question

Is it ethical for one company to receive funds to move into an area when other companies struggle to keep jobs from going offshore or from being lost to automation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Is ethical just if the funds are private and not public.

Explanation:

Considering a liberal point of view is ethical. Firms compete with each other for a portion of the market, and this is reached just if the firms are capable of offering a good service or product. Quality and price are the most common variables took into account by consumers.

Is visible that, if  firms are struggling with technological constraints or the maintenance of jobs is because has no competitive advantage and it's not offering a good product or service to society. If in that process a new firm adapts to the context and looks for private investment, in order to satisfy higher expectactions of the market, then, the final result is ethic, because elevates the welfare level of the entire society.
