Abstract
Shipbuilding companies need deep knowledge of strategic control in their industry to succeed over their foreign and domestic competitors. Unfortunately, most of them do not have sufficient knowledge of the topics related to strategy and strategic control in their turbulent and complex environment. The present study seeks to produce a theory and model in order to explain strategic control in Iran's shipbuilding industry. The research data were collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews from 8 managers and experts in the shipbuilding industry. The data collected from open and semi-structured interviews were analyzed by MAXQDA software version 12 and a model was designed which was tested in quantitative stage using Delphi methods and interpretive structural modeling. Using interpretive structural modeling, the most important factors affecting strategic control and the level of effectiveness and effectiveness of factors affecting strategic control in the shipbuilding industry were identified. It was found that strategic control has control levers including restrictive control, control of special awareness, control of customer commitment, effectiveness control, strategic capability control, shared satisfaction control, skills control, strategy content control, political control, task control, cultural control, interaction control, strategy performance control. Effectiveness control and customer satisfaction were identified as the most influential factors in strategic control in the shipbuilding industry.
