Strategic Management: Text and Cases, 11th (Dess)
Chapter 1 Strategic Management: Creating Competitive Advantages

1) Lands' End's failure under the leadership of Ms. Frederica Marchionni was said to be a direct

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: In the romantic view of leadership, the implicit assumption is that the leader is the
key force in determining an organization's success or lack thereof. Under Ms. Marchionni's

73.8-million-dollar profit for the previous year under its previous CEO.
