Researc Queston

The in luence o educators and universities on irst – time, reshman students with low

GPA and ACT scores is more prevalent than ever. Teaching students to be success ul in college

courses, speci ically those with low standardized test scores is essential. One would create a mock

dissertation on this topic, by studying proactive, motivational study skills to students who enter

college with lower academic entrances. The research question is “What is the bene it o enrolling

students who lower than average composite standardized test scores into study and li e skills

courses?”. The purpose o this study will be to examine the e ectiveness o teaching a particular

cohort using T-test and linear regressions to determine the impact on those who receive the service

and those who do not.

Data Mea ure

The success o these courses will be based on grade point average, degree completion, and

time o degree completion. This data is housed in many universities registrar o ice; however, it

can also be ound at Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education. These organizations collect

all students who have been enrolled in a determined course in Kentucky, their standardized test

scores, demographic characteristics, high school test scores and more. Those who obtained a

degree will be ound rom the University and the year that they began at the university to the year

they completed a degree. Grade point average will be available through individual universities that

the student attended. The in ormation regarding the course, those enrolled, the rate that continued

each year, and more will be available through the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education.

Attainment o Associates degrees (typically at a community, two-year university) versus a

Bachelor’s degree, can be ound rom the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education.

1 DATA CO ECTION

Researc Question and Purpose

The research question for this study is: “Does higher educational leadership have an impact

on student persistence from first-year to second-year in a public four-year institution?”

This study will be looking at a public four-year institution in the Midwest that is accredited by the

regional accrediting agency Higher earning Commission (H C). The institution has undergone a

complete change of leadership four years ago. With this change, we will be evaluating if there was

an impact on first-year to second-year student retention.

Collection of Arc ival Data

Each year, the university is required to disseminate a climate survey as a part of the

regional accreditation requirements. The climate survey is solely focused on the leadership of the

institution and the support they provide. The survey is a ikert scale, the university archives the

survey results for accreditation purposes and for assessing trends. These past and current results

will be gathered and utilized from the period before and after the leadership change. The survey

results are housed in the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment and are readily

accessible with a request submission. The study will analyze the survey results for four years prior

to the leadership change and the results for the four years since the change.

Additionally, the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment will be able to

provide first-year to second-year retention rates for the corresponding years. With both sets of data,

the study will evaluate if there is a correlation using a Chi-Square test. Furthermore, enrollment

and retention information for the institution can be accessed from Integrated Postsecondary

Education Data System (IPEDS) in order to gather a complete picture of enrollment and retention

trends during the eight-year period the study will be examining.

Research Question:

What is the Influence of Corporate Structure and Vision Statements on the Organizations

Financial Success in thePeriod of January 2019 Through January 2021?

In looking at the topic of the influence of visionary leadership on change management and

implementation, the period immediately preceding and through the current peak of Covid-19 is a

time of unprecedented change. This period also encompasses a highly contested political election

for the president that exacerbates the requirements for change management and implementation for

an organization to remain successful. Organizational structure has a significant impact on how

information moves within a company and the speed at which it can be assimilated and reacted

upon (Krishnan, 2018). The leader is primarily responsible for implementing the corporate

structure and articulating and communicating its vision statement. Theprevalence of an articulated

and well-communicated vision statement within various organizational structures can be correlated

to financial performance metrics such as free cash flows (FCF) and the weighted average cost of

capital (WACC) to form statistical correlations. This will be contrasted with the same

organizational structure without a well-articulated and accessible vision statement with the

expected outcome that the same financial metrics will suffer. It is also expected that more

decentralized structures will enhance financial performance during periods of significant change.

A combination of survey and archival data will beutilized. The survey will be emailed to a

random selection of HRdepartments of 217 of the Fortune top 500 companies for distribution to

front line and middle managers (Krejcie, 1970). Archival data frompublicly available financial

statements will be used to determine FCF and WACC.

Corporate financial data will be obtained from archival data found on the 10-Q (quarterly)

reports filed with theSecurities Exchange Commission (SEC) and publicly available on their

website (www.sec.gov). Corporate value, the dependent variable, can bedetermined as follows

(Brigham & Ehrhardt, 2020):

Value = FCF1/(1+WACC) 1 + FCF2/(1+WACC)

2 + FCF3/(1+WACC) 3 + …

FCF =EBIT(1- Tax Rate) – (Present year Operating Capital – Previous year Operating Capital)

Corporate earnings before income taxes (EBIT) and tax rate will be obtained on the SEC website

in the condensed consolidated statement of income. Operating capital will be obtained from the

condensed consolidated balance sheet as the sum of net property and inventory.

After exploring the difficulty in obtaining the WACCfrompublic financial records, and its

anticipated limited impact in the low interest rate environment during theperiod of interest (2019-

2020), corporate value will be approximated as the sum of the future cash flows (FCF’s).

Value ≈ FCF1 + FCF2 + FCF3 + …
