Explanation of the Alignment of Strategic Control and Project Management Elements and its impact on Project Performance

Frequently, strategy implementation problems in projects have stemmed from failure of control systems. For replying this need, the control system named strategic control has been emerged. On the other hand Contingency Theory and Strategic Fit theory suggests aligning project strategic control with Project Management Elements such as Strategy, Culture, and Structure can leads to positive project performance results. The purpose of this model is providing an alignment model of strategic control and project monument elements using Strategic Reference Point Theory. We test our model using data obtained via questionnaire from 32 Petrochemical Process Plant projects. The finding supports that alignment between strategic control and project management leads to positive project performance results.
