Additionally, a question has been added to ensure that external hires have the skills necessary to manage diverse workforces not just from a legal perspective, but also a values perspective. Tanglewood management has repeatedly emphasized the desire to increase the level of diversity in its workforce, and it must ensure that external hires are aligned with this goal.
The growing competition and demand for organic products were important points to be considered by Evergreen’s expansion plan. Rapid expansion always comes with issues such as the ones face by Evergreen during the integration of new acquisitions, where running all stores under certain uniform conditions becomes a challenge dictated by demographics differences and distance from headquarters. Internal perspectives The primary problem faced by Evergreen derives from its expansion plan and stores acquisitions during time of rising competition. Regardless of the autonomy given to managers and the “mentor store” program, employees at newly acquired stores defied the “Evergreen Way” and felt that power was taken away from them. Under this circumstances where management does not share the company’s values, the integration process can negatively be affected or delayed because the company has to deploy more resources (time, recruitment, development) to solve the issues.

According to Gerri Knilans, President of Thousand Oaks, “the primary reason many mergers and acquisitions do not deliver longer-term value is because they lack a strong cultural-integration plan.’ Business Process Integration Conjecture Corporation (2012) believes: “The concept of business process integration can aid in making sure that customer’s orders are processed, executed, and billed with relative ease, simply by establishing connections between all relevant systems. By effectively using business process integration to establish connections between internal systems, businesses can often manage tasks with a greater degree of speed as well as accuracy (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-business-process-integration.htm).
