Background: In today's global and competitive markets, creating business networks is considered an effective strategy; these relationships often involve cooperation and competition, which require a careful balance to maintain mutual benefit and stability; hence, managing these complex relationships requires strategic control systems at the network level.
Objective: The study was conducted with the aim of identifying the components of strategic control at the network level using the meta-synthesis method.
Research Methodology: This study is applied in terms of purpose and analytical-descriptive in terms of method. The meta-synthesis method was conducted using the seven steps of Sandelowski and Barroso's (2007) method. Documents were extracted from domestic and foreign databases in the period 2000 to 2025. A total of 435 domestic and foreign articles were found, and based on the article acceptance criteria and research quality assessment using the Critical Assessment Skills program, 38 documents were finally selected for coding, analysis, and review. In order to measure reliability and quality control, the Kappa method was used, the value of which was at the desired level in the present study.
Findings: Based on the findings, strategic control components at the network level were extracted based on 120 primary concepts, 30 subcategories, and 8 main categories including control of network social capabilities, control of network collaborative capabilities, control of network knowledge and information systems, control of strategy formulation in the network, control of network institutional environment, control of strategy implementation in the network, control of network internal results, and control of network external results.
