Case #1 Acquire or Develop talent My professional Recommendation: I think it is best for Tanglewood to focus more on developing talent from within because it saves the company time and money. In house employees already know about the company, and the products it has to offer. They also know about and are use to the organization’s culture, and has a proven track record. Therefore, fewer resources will be needed for this candidate.

the products that are supplied are of a certain quality. By doing this it will help a business to flourish as consumers are more likely to buy a product because the business has made it to a certain standard.

Leadership Style of Peter Vyas Peter Vyas is a participative leader. He is focused on supporting his team and their abilities to complete tasks set out for them. When using participative leadership “there is less emphasis on the task, but still high supportive behavior.” (Lewis, 2003, p. 82) He really allowed his team to be innovative, which is in line with the company’s culture. He has established what he wants his team to do but how they get to that point he has entrusted to them.
A number of approaches were considered to help Lowe’s lower expenses and increase profits. One approach was to grow Lowe’s brand recognition through new advertising approaches, such as social media, which will get the most out of the strengths. To overcome some key flaws, Lowe’s has a duty to provide cross training to all employees in all sections and jobs of the store prior to working alone. In addition, the execution of a quality assurance program to standardize the Total Quality Management (TQM) of products would help Lowe’s address various weaknesses and threats. Some of Lowe’s strengths include having the second largest market share in the industry, their creative ideas classes and videos, and their corporate social responsibility.

By the morning of the third day, the Cobbs were starting to question the wisdom of launching the product at all; they had already invested a lot of time and money in the product, and without any substantial sales, there seemed little reason to continue. When Cabela’s expressed interest in the product, everything changed. At least one leading retailer was prepared to carry the product. For Russ, the opportunity was a clear win; while Cabela’s would need a retail price of $7.99, the product would be in the market and selling. Matt, however, wondered if the price was too

Nordstrom does not offer extensive training programs to its customers. Employees are paid on a commission basis, they are surrounded by a very competitive environment and it is ingrained in them that customer satisfaction is key. Employees needing to train new employees may not emphasize to the new employee why the need for customer satisfaction is so important. Also, because of the competitive environment, it may cause the employee to not train the new employee appropriately because of threat to their sales, which could in turn cause a misconception of their family environment. There is no training program for them that state any reasons why the culture of the company relies on customer satisfaction.
