I'd be surprised if any single factor directly and unambiguously influences success.

You could hire a bunch of jolly simpletons, have the happiest company in the world, and go bust before the year is out.

You could make it perfectly clear what is expected of everyone, give them all the kit they need, implement all their valuable suggestions then depress them by paying them minimum wage and discouraging fraternisation and have a similar outcome.
