In this regard, the aim of the research is not only to complete the Simons model, but also to address the limitations of the previous literature in order to provide a more comprehensive framework, with the ability to cover more of the various components of strategic control in this industry. So that the thirteen components include insight control, cultural control, leadership control, political control, strategy assumption control, structural control, external stakeholders control, future-oriented control, process control, third party control, resource control, project control, and control the implementation of strategies in this research were identified as strategic control components in the power plant industry.
