Presenting a model of control strategies based on a two-dimensional outcome model

Control at the strategic level involves the control of all elements of the organization at the subjective and conceptual level; Strategic control is obtained from two process and result models, in-process strategic control focus is on the accuracy and integrity of strategic management processes. In result, strategic control focus is on strategic reference points of the species. The purpose of this paper is to present a two-dimensional model of control strategies to maintain organizational dynamics.

To achieve this goal, 130 articles were extracted from the Systematic Review method and 60 articles were selected based on specific criteria by searching valid databases. Then, using the content inference method, the research areas of control including strategic control, control levers, and control management systems were identified, and then a map of concepts and topics related to each field was drawn.

Identifying control strategies using strategic reference points that are in consistent with other elements because alignment is both a measure of accuracy and synergistic. The strategic reference points here are the amount of concentration and attention determined and along with 16 sub-categories and 47 sub-codes (factors) including the main findings of this study.

Based on the result modeling, we choose one of the priority strategies and engage in horizontal and vertical coordination, for the typology of control strategies, we consider each strategic reference point (concentration and attention) as a spectrum to achieve a two-in-two matrix and then control strategies are embedded in these cells. Using this typology, the four strategies obtained are key performance strategies, profitability strategies, transformation strategies, and communication strategies that align with Lorange's strategic control and Simon’s levers of control.
