• Evaluate how each category of stakeholder impacts the overall success of this corporation.
• Use the Strayer University Online Library and to locate and include at least three quality references. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not quality as academic resources.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is the following:

• Determine the impact of globalization and technology changes, strategic models, vision and mission statements, and stakeholders on a corporation’s success.

 2.From your ANOVA table: What is the test statistic?

 3.From your ANOVA table: What is the p-value?

 4.Assuming a level of significance at 0.05, would you reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis? Explain how you came to this conclusion  (i.e., either use the test-statistic/critical value or p-value to support your claim).
