Furthermore, both entire strategic management and the organization management studies follow a potential model-enterprise path that genes determine its attitude, the attitude decides the decision structure and behavior, behavior resolves the final outcome. Either focus on the relationship between genes and performance directly or through dependent variables, independent variables, intermediate variables, and moderator variables, all organization and management studies are the paths of this enterprise gene map.
