From the case, there is an inconsistency in the management styles between the original and the newly acquired stores.
Acquisition Strategy: This ensures that the newly acquired stores abide by and follows the right path without resistance.
Develop Talent Strategy: This would entail in motivating its employees and make them more productive. As Tanglewood want the employees to be self-sufficient and think like managers, this strategy would aid its vision.
2. Hire Yourself or Outsource

For entry level positions, they should hire externally.
For top level management positions, they should hire internally because they are aware of the value and culture of the region and the stores.
