Ans. c)

The environmental scan suggests that staffing managerial employees in the state of Washington are quite complex. The environment seems to be quite healthy for skilled people from the outside .the environment keeps supplying skilled and qualified people in the urban markets. As people in the promotion chain keep moving upward they are transferred from the urban to the rural areas. The high profile graduates find it difficult to fit in long hours of work with low pay and conflicts with lower level employees as a negative feeling for working .this environment may prove hostile. Staff just want to be at that position and do not want to be moved up the ladder in terms of hierarchy. But, this does not happen at Tanglewood. The future of tangle wood environment may lack that expertise and dynamism from the young and fresh blood because these experts do not want to wait to climb the ladder. The market has a lot of people looking for jobs at managerial positions but the weakness of the labor market may make that commodity scarce.
