Review the posts by your peers and provide your feedback by answering the following questions:
Do you agree or disagree with your peers’ initial posts about the relationships between
organizational culture, capabilities, and performance? Explain.
What is different about their perspectives, and how do you think it will affect the overall

Performance and Organizational Capabilities Week 7 & 8
Tyler Trowell posted May 8, 2022 5:32 PM Subscribe
Hello Team,
Considering the statement, I agree with the statement regarding the merit of value in focusing
on organizational capabilities. When a company relies on performance there are normally flaws
within their organizational capabilities. Just because they have financial performance does not
mean they have structure internally and externally. Now, both hold significance to the
company’s success but one is not more valuable.
An organization’s culture defines the proper way to behave within the organization. This
culture consists of shared beliefs and values established by leaders and then communicated
and reinforced through various methods, ultimately shaping employee perceptions, behaviors,
and understanding. When employees feel that bosses and managers care about their personal
happiness – and not only the company’s net revenues – loyalty develops. This helps build
employee buy-in to the vision of the company and set higher goals that have a wave of
positive energy behind them (Karagöz, & Akgün, 2015).
Looking at Company A and Company B, they are not focusing on their infrastructure to achieve
the desired success. Both companies are not taking advantage of technology and revamping
their workforce to be competitive in the market. Both must be open to change to be leaders in
the said market.
Regards,
Tyler

Performance and Organizational Capabilities
Edgar Romero posted May 8, 2022 3:26 PM Subscribe
Hello everyone,
I have been thinking about the first question and I must confess that it is a difficult one to
answer. In ‘most’ cases, I agree that highly-performance organizations emphasize their capabilities
more than actual performance. Organization capabilities are the expertise, strategic assets, and
collective skills that companies utilize to get work done and execute their business strategies
(Smallwood & Ulrich, 2014). In my opinion, all of these resources are vital in terms of a company’s
performance. However, there are successful entities that are result-driven and only care about the end
goal. For instance, Steve Jobs was an autocratic leader who encouraged employees to focus on the
company’s vision, regardless on how the job was done. We can argue whether his leadership style was
ethical or not, but not against the success of his companies. In short, I agree with the statement above,
but I believe it requires a minor modification. “In most cases, the best-performing companies care less
about performance and more about their organizational capabilities.”
An organization’s culture has a direct impact on capabilities and performance. leaders
influence a company’s culture by communicating goals, setting expectations, and stablishing the
business model. Culture is then transmitted to employees through the onboarding process, orientations,
and a series of trainings (Carabelli, n.d). These values influence companies’ daily operations in a
number of ways. For example, leaders who promote innovation tend to have a workforce that thinks
outside of the box. This philosophy leads to new ideas, improved processes, and enable companies to

adapt to the ever-changing business environment. On the other hand, there are organizations that are
more methodical and follow strict rules. The leaders of these companies tend to impose a set of
guidelines and procedures that all employees must obey.
Although Companies A and B are part of the airline industry, there are clear cultural
distinctions among the two. Company A’s sales are comprised by two-thirds of returning
customers. This figure illustrates an efficient customer service and a lack of advertisement. The
excellent client satisfaction is primarily driven by employees going the extra mile. The staff offers
special threats to passengers and assures that everyone has a pleasant experience. Furthermore, A
offers twice as many baggage handlers, check-in attendants, and customer service specialists. The
main concern with this company is the elevated cost of its services. Meanwhile, Company’s B culture
is driven by its new leader’s beliefs of moving forward through the adoption of an agile workforce,
empowering employees, and promoting innovation. B’s new president has a higher commitment
towards sustainability. She promotes environmental awareness and moving towards a net-zero carbon
footprint. As the organization is shifting to a more technological and integrated business model, there
is evident skepticism in some of the more tenured employees. Even though the company is currently in
a healthy financial state, the skeptisism may have a long-term negative impact on the company’s
performance.

Organizational capabilities are considered as things that an organization uses to get the job done while
satisfying customers and carrying out the vision. These capabilities resonate from inside of the
organization and can lead it to success. Examples of this may include innovation, the culture within the
organization the ability to adapt and more With that being said I do think that organization
