Currently, performance management is no longer a new term. The author of this article offers a unique perspective, interpreting this issue from the perspective of organizational DNA. The author does not attempt to explain complex realities with complex theories but uses DNA to explain organizational performance management, breaking down and simplifying an exceptionally complex problem. This is indeed a great creative idea by the author.
Leveraging the concept of the composition of biological organisms, the author distinguishes seven different types of organizational structures based on the four core elements of organizational DNA—authority, information, incentive mechanisms, and organizational structure—using the logic of cross-combinations of these elements. These seven types serve as a health check for enterprise organizations, presenting complex theories in a vivid and lively form.
