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.

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:

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.
