In physical chemistry, the Arrhenius equation is a formula for the temperature dependence of reaction rates. The equation was proposed by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, based on the work of Dutch chemist Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff who had noted in 1884 that the van 't Hoff equation for the temperature dependence of equilibrium constants suggests such a formula for the rates of both forward and reverse reactions. This equation has a vast and important application in determining the rate of chemical reactions and for calculation of energy of activation. Arrhenius provided a physical justification and interpretation for the formula.[1][2][3][4] Currently, it is best seen as an empirical relationship.[5]: 188  It can be used to model the temperature variation of diffusion coefficients, population of crystal vacancies, creep rates, and many other thermally-induced processes/reactions. The Eyring equation, developed in 1935, also expresses the relationship between rate and energy.

One should interpret this question as broadly as possible. Does the CEO know what to do in all matters all the time? This includes matters of personnel, financing, product strategy, goal sizing, and marketing. At a macro level, does the CEO set the right strategy for the company and know its implications in every detail of the company? I evaluate two distinct facets of knowing what to do: ![](https://readwise-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/media/reader/parsed_document_assets/257138003/fWWqBrIkGRjkDthxRDd88juWTWaUY61kk8Ncl96bsk8-id23-00002.jpeg)  Strategy In good companies, the story and the strategy are the same thing. As a result, the proper output of all the strategic work is the story. ![](https://readwise-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/media/reader/parsed_document_assets/257138003/6eMszXpdfTMgdoetaJvTxsTjQpmPXnjE1T2hI92Qk7c-id23-00002.jpeg)  Decision making At the detailed level, the output of knowing what to do is the speed and quality of the CEO’s decisions.
