Previous authors have suggested that culture has an impact on financial performance. Unlike previous studies which have only examined the effects of culture on financial performance using cross sectional data, this study was done in a single organization. The company had twenty relatively comparable divisions, and provides a somewhat rare, if not unique, opportunity to assess the effects of corporate culture on financial performance. The results, using a refression analysis, suggest that there is statistically significant relationship (at 0.05 level) between culture and financial performance (measured by `EBIT`, or earnings before intrest and taxes). Thus these results provide support for the previously hypothesized relationship between culture and financial performance with significant implications for management theory and practice
