This paper explores how governments and firms can create shared value with their stakeholders. Often, state and local governments use tax cuts or other types of incentives to entice firms to locate within their area. While tax abatements remain useful incentives to help governments achieve job creation goals, those same cuts may create undue burdens for stakeholders such as taxpayers, and local businesses who do not benefit from tax cuts. This illustrative case looks at how Amazon.com and the State of South Carolina arranged for the building of a new fulfillment center in Lexington, SC.
