These are the assessment and recommendation I have suggested to Tanglewood Store to pay attention for centralization of the organization’s practices and the improvements of staffing levels and quality.
1. Acquire or Develop Talent
As I read the case, the Tanglewood Store has many employees. It has 215 employees per store. I think that the organization should choose Develop Talent. They have enough employees already so instead of acquiring more employees they will just develop and train the skills and talent of their employees. In that way the company will gain competitive advantage by using them in the future.
2. Hire Yourself or Outsource
In my opinion, Tanglewood Store should choose Hire Yourself. There’s no need in using outsource because the organization itself will be the one to recruit and select employees. It will lower the expenses of the organization because they don’t have to acquire certain person to help them in decision making in hiring employees. They have their own bases on how to acquire people; recommendations are provided to the store like advertising for new recruits through internet based strategy.
3. External or internal
I think that Tanglewood Store should acquire External Hiring because based on the case the organization has been experiencing the rapid organization growth since 1984 until several years. Because of this they have to use the expansion strategy which there’s a possibility that a number of new jobs created. Many employees will be needed to fill in the new jobs created so they will come up on hiring externally because they can’t put another task on the regular employees it can cause labor shortage.
4. Core or Flexible Workforce
As I read the case, Tanglewood Store should focus on both Core and Flexible Workforce. All their employees are members of the core workforce. I suggest that they should retain
