Strategic control focuses on monitoring the implementation of a strategy, identifying problems, and making adjustments to ensure organizational goals are met. Premise control, a type of strategic control, systematically verifies the validity of the foundational assumptions of a strategy, considering environmental and industry factors. If any key premise becomes invalid, the strategy may require modification.
