Compound control mode

Compound control mode

For the multi-service group, may face different circumstances, a subsidiary of the structure of property rights, usually for different ownership structure, we will propose a complex model for the management of the Group of design management. We have a complex management model is divided into four specific: Indicators of management, support, training, monitoring effectiveness. The four specific management constitutes a complex control of the basic model types.

Indicators, a subsidiary of the Group's management goal is to make the subsidiary has sustained profitability, setting performance goals and strategies to control and monitor the company's operating subsidiary, to provide the necessary skills to provide the necessary support and resources , Is the main financial and external resources.

Enabling: the management of the target group may not be as profitable as a goal, but the management will focus on core competitiveness, a subsidiary of the building. Through subsidiary companies involved in strategic decision-making and major investment projects in the pre-assessment and implementation of external resources to assist in the integration and the establishment of systems management and operations of the system, to provide any necessary skills and resources to support such development projects, funds, government relations and so on To help enterprises establish their own core competencies.

Nurturing type: typically nurturing type of business as a subsidiary of the Group's growth and development of industry, the management group will focus on the goal of fostering new industries and hatching. The decision adopted by the enterprises under the direction of development objectives and portfolio to help develop business and market development, participation in major investment projects assessment and decision-making, control and prevent risks, skills and resources with the full cooperation and support, and other measures to gradually The establishment of industrial competitive edge.

Effective monitoring: effective monitoring of the type usually subsidiaries of the Group as some of the industry downturn, the Group subsidiary, based on the effectiveness of monitoring the management of the main focus is to reduce losses, increase the value of the assets.

In short, it is necessary to establish an effective regulatory model rather than the narrow sense, and should be a system, from the operational characteristics of the group as a whole, the Group of parenting advantage, governance, organizational structure, human resources, processes, information systems and other aspects of the system Reflections on the design. In this group management system, the group's development strategy to the top position, it is the control group to form the basis for models. The human resources system, the company processes and information systems management and control model is implemented with the support system to help them control mode of operation of the real effective, and ultimately to achieve the strategic objectives of the Group. They are a mutual influence, mutual support organic system, so we called the "integrated control system."

Headquarters functions

Headquarters functions

Group control model to determine the key functions of the headquarters. As the group of domestic enterprises in the management of the emergence of a very short time, the group's headquarters is more a function of new problems. Headquarters Group, the basic function is to what? Group headquarters should be how? This is a group of companies to achieve effective control of a key issue.

Usually the Group to achieve the functions of the headquarters focus on strategic management, risk control, operations coordination, to support the functions of the four areas, mainly to resolve the strategic management of the Group's overall development and competitiveness of the core issues of training, risk control is to address a group of Sustainability and improve the quality of life group, to coordinate operations of the main settlement of the whole group of co-operation of various issues through the creation of a unique group of co-parent advantage, to achieve the maximization of the value of the business group, mainly through the support of the functions of the Group Headquarters The functions of sharing and sharing of business groups to achieve operational efficiency, these support functions, including human resources, information systems, financial systems. In a different mode of control under the Headquarters of the Group's role is different. If the financial-control group, the low level of centralized headquarters; used to operate the control-group, and its headquarters on the high degree of centralization of power. But no matter how centralized headquarters, the goal should be reasonable for the group as a whole to create added value for the group as a whole to achieve the goal of playing an active role. As a result, the functions of the headquarters location for the group as a whole is to provide added value. If the headquarters location unreasonable, will not only bring added value, but they will also bring the value of damage. For example: Group management structure is not complete, general manager of the lack of supervision led to the general manager and made serious mistakes in decision-making; Group unreasonable structure, headquarters, as well as between various departments and enterprises under the wrangling between; multi-level management Operating decision-making bureaucracy and waste opportunities; headquarters can not be subordinate to the business unit to provide the necessary technical support and expert guidance; performance indicators for one-sided, misleading business unit operations, and so on, these are common problems.

Defined the functions of the headquarters, headquarters and subordinate relationship between the company and the division of responsibilities more easily rationalized. Followed by a specific group of companies control the choice of model, the organizational form of identification, organization departments of the functions of the position and responsibilities of the division of work, and so on have a clear basis. At the same time, support for the establishment and improvement of the system also can be a matter of course. For example, in human resources management system, the most basic - and set up job description of the responsibilities, to assess the value of work, and will have a basis in order to be able to build on this basis, starting salary, performance, capacity, recruitment, And a series of training management system. Another example is the control model of clarity has made on this basis to carry out the work of the design process and optimize the scientific basis, thus ensuring the company's overall work flow of high-performance run. For another example, in the control group as a whole system of clear and rational basis to build up a management information system can help organizations to further improve their efficiency, to guard against operational risks and improve decision-making more scientific. As a result, the headquarters of the group is to determine the function of the control model of a "key link" in its control mode to determine Gangjumuzhang played a key role.

However, the functions of the headquarters is not set in stone. Company headquarters will feature the following changes: First, the headquarters of a large number of outsourcing service functions will be to improve the cost efficiency of the Headquarters; second part of the headquarters will be even more enhanced features, such as the selection of senior staff And training, exchange of experience and strategic planning; Third, the weakening in the research and development, quality, marketing so as to make it closer to the market; through four integrated internal and external resources to subordinate enterprises to provide more services; Fifth, strengthen Headquarters influence, that is headquarters to raise the overall level of management, should be subordinate to bring more added value. Overall, the Group's headquarters functions more and more from the "control" oriented to the role of "providing value-added" role-oriented change.

Control model of organic system

Control model of organic system

Control group to determine patterns related to the third level, is the control and patterns related to the outside world a number of important factors to consider, including strategic business objectives, human resources management, workflow system, as well as management information systems.

Control mode for the group is very important, but if things as they are often difficult to make it clear that not solve the problem. First of all, control the choice of model for what should be the standard? Control need to develop models of how to? To solve these problems, inevitably involves the strategic objectives of the company. Because the control system is based on the completion of the Group's strategic objectives for the specific purpose of it is to achieve the strategic objectives of the Group's business services. Therefore, group management and control system is a benchmark established by the Group's business strategy. To achieve effective control of the group, first of all, should the Group's business development strategy clearly the rationale for the whole group a direction and goals. So that all employees know where to go to the road, where so strong. Otherwise, the group's control system will lose the basis for the establishment of blindly established control system is often ineffective.

Second, the regulatory model of how to implement each of the posts, each of the employees, and make it truly effective? Control model is not only remain in control of their own will be able to solve the model, which requires specific ways to help implement it. For example, a company's strategic goals are very clear organizational structure and governance structure are also matched, the department is also very clear division of responsibilities. But the work is not automatically effective? Goal will certainly be able to successfully achieve this? Obviously not, since they still lack the implementation of the security conditions. Think about that if an enterprise's duty is not clear, reasonable pay and benefits, performance management is inadequate and can not keep up staff training, staff development prospects did not, employees will work in the enthusiasm it? Enterprises to achieve the ultimate goal of this ? As a result, group management and control of the implementation of the model, there should be human resources management system and improve the tie. Third, workflow is also a group of companies can control the effective operation of the system is an important support system. Workflow that is the process of doing things, is a set of input into output of interrelated or interaction with the corporate job-related activities. These activities can increase the value of the First, the value of the work to improve the efficiency of the work; The second is to reduce errors, reduce the risk. The vast majority of enterprises have their own rules and regulations and standards, but it can not guarantee that employees can be strictly observed. And optimizing the work flow system can be, the standard elements of effective link up to form a standard work procedures to ensure that the various systems of standards and working to achieve the effective conduct. Especially in the control group with the size of the group's expanding and increasingly complex, if not optimized workflow system, the group will be difficult to avoid the loss of efficiency and risk arising from the effective management and control will be difficult to achieve.

However, there is a too much emphasis on workflow, as long as it seems to work well carding process, the management of all aspects of the problem is solved. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, the same is very dangerous.

In the process and other management, especially with the human factor, not a rigid process constraints, it is impossible to develop good after a series of processes so that everyone will be able to following the rules, and the end of the story. People are living, if the process does not work with the staff of the incentive and restrictive mechanism for coordinated, no one will abide by the process, no one will be the implementation of the system, no one will be the standard reference, no matter how the process will also be a display.

Second, management information systems in support of the implementation of group management and control model is an important aspect. Enterprise management information system development and application of enterprises, especially large-scale management group to improve the efficiency of the impact of very large, even revolutionary. The scale of the size of the enterprise will inevitably lead to changes in the structure of organizations - large-scale enterprises can easily form a multi-level management structure, each one more level, not only result in inefficient management, and will inevitably interfere with the transmission of information, To enable enterprises to reach the final of the leadership of the distortion of information. In order to improve management efficiency and accurate understanding of the top in the past, companies often used method is to reduce the level of management or decentralization in decision-making. However, this will have a new risk, such as too broad range of management as a result of the market to reflect the slow, or let go due to the power under the management of large and lead to loss of control, and so on. As a result, the size of the expansion of business enterprises, often in power "test, to close dilemma" situation.

Broad control mode

Broad control mode

The broad pattern of control due to the impact of a number of factors, the industry's competitive business environment and their conditions vary, so there is no question of a "standard" or "universal" model, there is no "best" model Only the "most suitable for them" model, and they will certainly also with a number of changes in external factors and constantly adjusted.

For example, the impact of the organizational structure of the group in the form of specific factors in the competitive environment, corporate strategy, business combinations, industry characteristics, firm size, the traditional management, government policies, laws, the Group's different stages of development, and so on, and even in terms of the operating The style. So in real life, the group's organizational structure is in fact often in the form of a hybrid, most of them are based on parent-subsidiary corporate system, at the same time to mix business and functions of the system in a straight line.

In another example, from the needs of business strategy, the main groups involved in the development direction of a holding subsidiary of the parent company of replacement can be shareholding, acquisition methods, such as making it a wholly-owned subsidiary in order to achieve full control of the company; For a wholly owned subsidiary, based on a consideration may also sell some of its shares into shares of the company or holding company.

Three specific control mode

Three specific control mode

According to the headquarters of the set, the degree of separation of powers, can be subordinate to the corporate headquarters of the control and patterns into the "operations management", "strategic management" and "financial management" of the three control mode. This is a feature of all three models:

Managed to operate:

Headquarters Headquarters through the functions of the enterprises subordinate management of day-to-day operations of the management. In order to ensure the implementation of the strategy and goals reached, the group's various functions of the management depth. To retain the headquarters of the core functions of the financial control / strategy, marketing / sales, new business development, human resources and so on. Such as personnel management is not only responsible for the Group's personnel system-wide policy-making, and responsible for the management of the Company under the second management team and key personnel selection, appointment and removal. In such a mode of control of the group, under the corporate business to a very high correlation. In order to ensure the headquarters of the right to be able to cope with the decision-making and problem solving, the headquarters of the functions of the number of personnel will be many, the scale would be enormous.

Strategic Management type:

Group in charge of the headquarters of the Group's financial assets and operations of the Group's overall strategic planning, the subordinate enterprise (or division) as well as the development of its business strategy planning, and planning to reach the target budget as well as resource input. Headquarters is responsible for examination and approval under the business plan and give added value has approved on the recommendation of its budget, and then handed over to the implementation of the subordinate enterprises. In such a mode of control of the group, the business enterprise under the relevant requirements are very high. In order to ensure the realization of the objectives under the corporate group as well as to maximize the overall interests of the group's headquarters is not large-scale, but the main focus in overall balance, improve the overall efficiency of the Group's work. If the balance between corporate demand for resources, coordinate the contradiction between the subordinate enterprises, implementation of the "borderless business culture", senior director of training, brand management, best practices and experience sharing, and so on. This model can be described as the image of the "brains, brains also." Use this mode of control of the typical company British Petroleum, Shell, Philips and so on. At present, most of the world's group of companies have adopted or are in the process towards such a mode of control.

Financial management type:

Group Headquarters is only responsible for the Group's financial assets and operations of the Group's financial planning, investment decision-making and implementation of monitoring, as well as external business acquisitions, mergers work. Under each of businesses will have their own set of financial goals, as long as they can reach the financial goals. In such a mode of control group, all under the relevance of business enterprises can be very small. A typical type of Financial Management Group and Hutchison Whampoa have. Hutchison Whampoa Group of 45 countries around the world to operate a number of business, more than 180,000 employees, both its port and related services, real estate and hotels, retail and manufacturing, energy and infrastructure business, but also on the Internet, telecommunications and business services. The main headquarters is responsible for the operation of the assets, the headquarters staff functions are not many, mainly financial management. GE is also using this mode of control. This model can describe the image of the "brains, hands and feet do not."

Operations management and financial management is the type of centralization and decentralization of the two extreme-management strategy is in the middle of the state. On the basis of actual use, control strategies will generally be further fine-designated as "strategic control" and "strategic design", which focused on centralization of power and the latter focused on the separation of powers.

Group management and control model of the connotation

Group management and control model of the connotation

Control group is a model of interaction and mutual support of the organic system, which involves the need to determine the course of three levels:: First, the management of the narrow definition, that is the headquarters of the enterprises subordinate management and control model; followed by the broad Control mode, which includes not only the narrow concrete control mode, but also the company's management structure determination, the company's headquarters and subordinate roles and responsibilities of the division of the company's organizational structure in the form of a specific choice (in a straight line functions of the system, business system , Matrix, a subsidiary of the system, and multi-center network), the group's control of vital resources (such as human, financial, and material control system) as well as the performance management system; the third level is the control and patterns Related to a number of important external factors that relate to strategic business objectives, human resources management, workflow management systems and information systems.
