From the corrgram, correlation between Profit and, MTenure: is a positive and less significant one than Sales. CTenure: is a positive and less significant one than MTenure, as shown by correlation measures above. Pop: low positive correlation with population in 0.5 mile radius. Comp: negative correlation with competitors(per 10000 people in 0.5 mile radius), which is logical.

## Residual standard error: 56970 on 66 degrees of freedom
## Multiple R-squared: 0.6379, Adjusted R-squared: 0.594
## F-statistic: 14.53 on 8 and 66 DF, p-value: 5.382e-12Statistically significant explanatory variables: MTenure, CTenure, Comp, Pop, PedCount, Res, Hours24 Statistically significant explanatory variable: Visibility
- Expected change in the Profit at a store, if the Manager’s tenure i.e. number of months of experience with Store24, increases by one month is: 760.993
- Expected change in the Profit at a store, if the Crew’s tenure i.e. number of months of experience with Store24, increases by one month is: 944.978
Executive Summary:
From the regression analysis, we see Profit is far highly dependent on parameters like Comp(Number of competitors per 10,000 people within a ½ mile radius), PedCount(5-point rating on pedestrian foot traffic volume with 5 being the highest), by examining corresponding p-values and Estimate values, in comparison to people-related parameters: MTenure & CTenure, all of them also being statistically significant. Further when we see the top ten and bottom ten stores as per profits we find that both set of stores have managers and crew with more and less tenure.
Also, expected change in Profit with change in CTenure(944.978) is greater than that for MTenure(760.993).
So, it’s better to focus on Crew members’ development than Managers to increase tenure, if employee betterment plans have to be taken up.
