Does Strategy Drive Culture (or is it the other way around)?

Does Strategy Drive Culture (or is it the other way around)?

Recently I read with great interest a business journal article about the importance of core focus in organizations.  It mentioned the airline industry and in particular, discount airlines, which have been around longer than we might think.  In the United States, an organization called People’s Express was among the first of its kind to offer “no frills” air travel.  More recently, regional carriers like Southwest and JetBlue have taken this idea to new levels of success. However, with all of their success, others have tried this approach unsuccessfully.
