SuperCorp recently moved its headquarters to Corporateville. The recent surge in the number of homeowners in Corporateville proves that Corporateville is a superior place to live than Middlesburg, the home of SuperCorp's current headquarters. Moreover, Mi

The argument readily assumes several unwarranted assumptions, while incorporating partial information to support the SuperCorop decision for leaving Middlesburg - and moving its headquarters to Corporateville, decision which is based on either circumstantial evidence, lacking information, or incomplete financial analysis.

First, though the recent surge in the number of homeowners in Corporateville does show large interest in the town, several questions must be answered, starting with who are the home owners. If these are not SuperCorp employees - is this a population that is relevant to the corporation? It might also be possible that the surge of homeowners has also given rise to the prices, making the location not as alluring to most employees, due to the fact prices might be out of their price range and buying capability.

Second, even if the location is as lucrative a location, in which the employees would be happy to live, as the survey states, the very same survey did not ask the obvious question - where the employees would rather work - and thus is incomplete, making the tacit implication that the employees would also like to work in the same area where they live. For example, perhaps transportation between Middlesburg and the new headquarters have lesser traffic, since more homeowners drive from the direction of Coporateville, making it traffic easier to handle in the mornings. Thus, an incomplete survey leaves this corporate decision lacking. It can be equally claimed that since the new area is an area in which employees would prefer to live, since it is not urbane, the very transfer of the headquarters into a non urbane environment, could change the very nature of the area. A large corporate with many employees in an suburban area, might also in turn, appear boon for new businesses, such as coffee shops and restaurants, office supplies chain such as Staples to open near, changing the living environment, driving the residents away.

Finally, assuming all prerequisites could be thoroughly answered, a sound, complete financial analysis must be made, in order to correctly assess what would be the repeating costs of Corporateville, both for the company and for the employees - and what are the extraneous expenses. The claim that lower taxes alone make it not only a safer place to work and a cheaper one is unbased. First, no evidence as to how is it safer is presented and second, financially, taxes are only part of the greater picture of the company's financial costs. Additional information such if would the company buy or rent a building, or a complex, or how much added transportation would the employees would spend, would help assessing these assumptions.

In conclusion, both the survey and the unwarranted assumptions, lack information and clarity as to give base to how sound is the corporate decision of moving its headquarters.
