More research on this topic is cleary needed. A field experiment could be employed by asking manager to make decisions with and without a strategy map in a real work setting. A stategy map with detailed guidelines and correlation between each measure could thus be tested as to whether it has an effect on a manager's decision making. The usefulness of the strategy map and a method of using it can be investigated based on managers' perception. It has also been observed in this study that none of independent variables used in this study can be used to explain the variance of improvement in profit, which is the result of decision making. Thus, it is interesting to include more independent variables and test whether the strategy map will have a relationship with the performance of decision making. Finally the characteristics of "successful" strategy maps can be identified in order to help managers create the right strategy map for their organizations.
