Post your thoughts on the following: Why does corporate culture matter to the strategy execution process?· Provide an example of a situation that you are aware of in which corporate culture impacted strategy execution in a positive or negative manner. You may be aware of this situation through personal experience, an experience of someone you know, or something you have read about in classes or the media.Respond the classmate’s posting below. This can be to agree, disagree (respectfully), or to provide thoughts on the content provided in their post.Student: April Burg1. Corporate culture does matter significantly to the strategy execution process. A corporate leader can influence a lot in both good and bad ways. They determine the attitude, performance, and work ethic of the employees. If a corporation does not treat its employees well, those employees will not put in the time and effort to support the company. If a corporation treats them well and influences a good healthy work environment, it will reflect well on the company in multiple ways.2. The first example I can think of is Amazon. They have been in the headlines a lot recently due to the treatment of their employees and the work conditions. Some of the issues were the delivery drivers having to relieve themselves in plastic bottles, poor treatment in facilities and warehouses, not granting paid leave for illnesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the news of employees trying to unionize in Alabama. This all has a very negative effect on the strategy execution of Amazon. With more people becoming aware of this news, it has deterred some people from buying things from Amazon and looking to local businesses instead. I know I have made an effort to use Amazon less because of these reasons as well as wanting to support local small businesses rather than a billionaire.

Calculate the sample covariance and correlation for the two relationships in question 2 above using Data Analysis Tool Pack or Excel statistical functions. In addition, you are required to calculate the sample covariance and correlation using a second method (using basic Excel formulae without Data Analysis Tool Pack). The calculations by the second method should be carefully laid out in Excel and should NOT use any hard-wired Excel statistical functions e.g. COVARIANCE.S, CORREL, et al. You can use the Excel sort command, the sum command, and any other non-statistical excel commands. Carefully interpret your results.

Use simple regression to explore the relationship between (i) annual growth of per capita GDP over 1990-2000 (Y) and mean temperature over 1990-2000 (X); (ii) annual growth of per capita GDP over 1990-2000 (Y) and mean precipitation over 1990-2000 (X), respectively. You may use Data Analysis Tool Pack for this. Based on the excel regression output, first write down the estimated regression equations, then carry out any relevant two-tailed hypothesis tests using the critical value approach at the 5% significance level. Carefully interpret your hypothesis test results.
