Tanglewood Stores was founded in 1975 and has grown to 243 stores across the US. It focuses on quality merchandise and good customer service. As it looks to expand, it wants to centralize and improve its staffing strategy and human resource practices, which currently differ across its 20 regions. Key recommendations include acquiring talent for new stores but developing talent internally, focusing on a core workforce to maintain culture, and prioritizing retaining rather than hiring employees. Staff should demonstrate a general rather than specific set of skills and have exceptional rather than acceptable quality to support Tanglewood's values of valuing employees.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Case Study
The company now wants to expand but the concern
is to continue ensuring that human capital is used in
the best way along with the philosophy of the
company.
The company needs a central planning body in
staffing.
At the moment 20 regional managers handle human
resource practices differently.
Emerson and Woods have hired Donald Penchiala,
Staffing Service Director and Marilyn Anchley, VP of
Human Resource to centralize and improve the
current system.

We as an external consultant to staffing services
will give advice as to which staffing levels and
quality best suit Tanglewood based on Exhibit 1.7
19. Staffing Levels
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
1. Acquire or Develop Talent
2. Hire Yourself or Outsource
3. External or Internal Hiring
4. Core or Flexible Workforce
5. Hire or Retain
6. National or Global
7. Attract or Relocate
8. Overstaff or Understaff
9. Short or Long-Term Focus
20. Staffing Levels: 1. Acquire or Develop Talent
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
From the case that there is an inconsistency in
management styles between the original stores and the
newly acquired stores.
Acquisition Strategy:Acquisition Strategy: It assures that the newly acquired
stores start on the right path without resentment or
employees, particularly managers who resist.
Develop Talent Strategy:Develop Talent Strategy: For existing stores, This
approach could be beneficial to maintain a productive
workforce and Tanglewood wants its employees to be
self sufficient and think like managers.
21. Staffing Levels: 2. Hire Yourself or Outsource
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
This is a unique and tricky decision for any company. In
our opinion, we will not encourage out source
consultants because of their lacking in the actual
experience of that region. This may lead to more
disadvantages of the company process decision such as
lack of knowledge to the hr function and consultant is not
fully aware of their strengths or weaknesses of the
internal region director.
However, there are several advantages for hiring an out
source such as giving a new plan or idea, a new
technique and a new opinion to improve certain things at
Tanglewood hr department.
22. Staffing Levels: 3. External or Internal Hiring
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
For upper level management positions, Tanglewood
should hire internally because of the people culture
and value from each region; this is due to the
similarity between the employee and their society.
For entry level positions they should obviously hire
externally.
23. Staffing Levels: 4. Core or Flexible Workforce
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
In our opinion, Tanglewood should focus on
Core Workforce during the selection of
employees. This business is based on a “team”
philosophy that will be easily accomplished
through core workforce. It will be difficult to
maintain a cohesive employee and company
culture with flexible employees throughout the
year as opposed to full and part time employees
working year around.
24. Staffing Levels: 5. Hire or Retain
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
In our opinion, Tanglewood should focus on
retaining their employees and develop their
talent and skills instead hiring new ones. If
they plan to follow an internal hiring strategy
and maintain a core workforce as per our
suggestion, then they must focus on retaining
these employees. It would be difficult to
maintain a consistent company culture if they
have high turnover rate of employees.
25. Staffing Levels: 6. National or Global
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
Tanglewood like other stores has the same
tools, clothing, equipment, electronics and
much more. These retailers have to be engage
in both overseas out-sourcing and off-shoring
by hiring high tech and talented, sufficient
employees to deal with this globally and locally
that will help Tanglewood reach and exceed
competitive levels among others.
26. Staffing Levels: 7. Attract or Relocate
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
Tanglewood retailers, have to establish locations closer
to their distributors, this is because Tanglewood has 12
geographic regions and 20 stores per region. This mean
the regional managers have little experience on how
human resource runs throughout the 20 stores.
Tanglewood needs external and internal training for
these managers and continuously update them with new
policies and guidelines, to keep Tanglewood with the
other competitors. Another way to attract employees to
Tanglewood is there high education quality that is
expected of them when applying. This will lead to our
last factor of quantity exhibit the short or long term
focus.
27. Staffing Levels: 8. Overstaff or Understaff
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
In our opinion, Tanglewood Company is overstaffed.
Even though, Tanglewood managers are more
cooperative with all its employees’ suggestions
regarding the company’s operations but still it needs to
decrease. We really think that by decreasing the
number of employees and increasing the responsibility
staffing, training in each department will make the
work atmosphere stronger and job performance will be
done in a shorter time and also saving money for the
company.
28. Staffing Levels: 9. Short or Long-Term Focus
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
Setting a goal is easy for a company, however,
balancing and how to achieve that goal is challenging.
The human resource functions for Tanglewood among
the regions has less experience because they are not
connecting with each other very well. The short focus
plan has to improve the human resource function and
develop and increase the knowledge of their department.
This will lead to the long term focus that will help them
understand how to reach their long term focus. Most
talent management program is focusing on a long term
focus and this is the only way human resource can be
successful in Tanglewood.

32. Staffing Quality: 2. Specific or General KSAOs
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
We would go for the second choice more than the first.
Staff that have a variety of knowledge and experience will
serve best at this company. Tanglewood needs someone
who can adapt to the agile requirement of the company
and changing business world. As the company expands,
many changes will take place. Someone who can fit both
now and future will be perfect if the candidate has a
general KSAOs.
33. Staffing Quality:
3. Exceptional or Acceptable Workforce Quality
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
The first is the best choice for the organization. The
employees are an asset for Tanglewood. The company
cannot settle for cheap labour or average staff which could
threaten the success of the company built over the years.
Plus Tanglewood does not believe so much in a flexible
workforce like temporary workers. Staff turnover is not so
healthy for a company. Tanglewood should continue its
culture of valuing its employees and ensuring core good
workforce is always maintained over the years.
34. Staffing Quality: 4. Active or Passive Diversity
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
A diverse workforce is good for today however the
question is whether the workforce understands the local
need of the place, the demand patterns, customer
expectations and culture to name a few. We would
recommend a passive workforce for Tanglewood to
maintain the close relationship shared among employees
***Employment in US follows EEU my lecturer said so my
answer isnt so correct for this case study. We could
promote active diversity
35. Recommendation/Conclusion
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
Since the aim of Tanglewood is now to expand, their
management must understand KSAOs and motivation of its
employees, how to attract, retain, perform and satisfy
customers.
We are giving recommendations, but the organization must be
careful in the sudden change after many years through our
consultation and centralization of decisions by Penchiala and
Anchley.
A strong workforce with skills, qualifications, education and
knowledge and customer satisfaction / loyalty will surely lead
Tanglewood to have the competitive advantage to stay ahead
of its competitors and be a price / product leader.
