Problem: Do large corporations really care about the local community? Does Home Depot care about the community the same way a local mom and pop hardware stores does? Is it important for a corporation to care about the community. What affect did the replacement of mom and pop stores by large corporations, over the last 50 years, have on the economy? What affect will it have over the next 50 years? Does the communities connection to its business have an impact on the its success.
