Question Tag: Tucker's Model

An indigenous company wants to set up a retail mega store in Ibadan, chosen for its population density and lower overhead costs compared to Lagos. In Ibadan, electricity supply is more consistent, and operational costs, including salaries, rent, and transportation, are significantly lower. The move would also result in less environmental impact due to reduced diesel generator use. The local government has approved the project, which will create jobs both during construction and after the store’s completion.

Required:
Using Tucker’s five-question model for ethical decision-making, determine whether the decision to build the store in Ibadan rather than Lagos is ethical. (20 Marks)
