Abstract: abstract For several decades, management scholars have conducted studies of the organizational life process and formed a number of “life-cycle” models. Adizes (1999) suggested that every system has a life-cycle. Enterprises have life-cycles that parallel those of human beings (Allen, 1999). Regarding the enterprise life-cycle, scholars have used different models to divide the life stages and describe the characteristics of each stage.
