The current research method is based on a systematic review, which was selected based on articles published in reputable journals as well as authors with a high scientific degree. After collecting the articles done in the field of strategic control, finally, the analyzes of 19 articles were examined. The results of these analyzes showed that the basic challenges of the strategic management control system can be divided into four levels: 1. vision and goals; 2.
