The result shows: there is positive relationship existing between organizational flexibility and enterprise performance, corporate culture also contributes to moderate the relationship between them. But as one of the indicators of organizational flexibility, mobility of resources has no role in improving enterprise performance. Even after adding corporate culture, the relationship between mobility of resources and performance is still not significant.
