  Although the expansion of parent firms is of great importance to economic development and their central role in the administration of diverse businesses and value creation is undeniable, one of the main concerns of these firms and managers of subsidiaries is how to establish relationships or in other words corporate control. Parent firms can control the entire business process of subsidiaries, and this control can be introduced in the form of three styles of strategic planning, financial control and strategic control, which is commonly known as parent control in theoretical literature. However, the complexity of environmental conditions and increasing uncertainties will not allow the adoption of a fixed control style to meet the goals of the parent firms. Therefore, creating an interactive and scenario -based control system is recommended for subsidiaries for long-term survival. In this article, by reviewing the literature on parent firms control and a critical view of the popular methods and styles of controlling  subsidiary companies, a new method with an emphasis on participation, interaction and internalization of strategic decisions is presented to cover the current shortcomings and offer a more effective control of firms in changing environments. In the current study, the different categories of parent firms along with their configuration and managerial styles under different conditions, the proportion of characteristics, size, diversity and value -making practices are explained and compared. This review article can be effective for corporate control and can open a new horizon for future researchers to analyze the different styles of parent firms under uncertainty. Manuscript profile

  Designing a proper control system can provide the necessary, timely and accurate information in the decision-making process of complex situations and appropriate and quick reaction to sudden changes in the environment can be done through flexible strategic options. The bunkering industry (supplying of fuel for use to by ships) is largely unpredictable and have an intense diversity and complexity. In addition, since the environmental turbulence of this industry is relatively high, designing a proper strategic control system can coordinate the different actions of managers and helps the organization make a coherent movement in line with the environment. The purpose of this research is to present a strategic control model in the Bunkering industry. The research approach is qualitatively exploratory based on semi-structured interview with 12 experts in this industry. The sampling was theoretical sampling and based on the theoretical principle of saturation, and MAXQDA software has been utilized for data analysis, driven from the data-based theory strategy with the emergent Glaserian approach using citation-based inductive coding. Finally, the model was designed in the form of 8 levers: political control, boundary control, strategy content control, strategy transformation control, strategy implementation control, interactive control, task control and internal control Manuscript profile
