Metod: Studien utgar fran en deduktiv ansats och tillampar en kvantitativ metod. Teoretiskt perspektiv: Givet syftet med studien tillampas Miles och Snows strategiska typologi, control package samt tidigare forskning for att analysera empiriska resultat. Empiri: Studien utgar fran en kvantitativ insamling av data fran 22 foretag vilka framst redovisas genom grafer och tabeller. Slutsats: Studien pavisar att det finns ett antal starka samband mellan ett foretags utformning av dess control package och tillampade strategi. Foretag klassificerade som Defenders tenderade att fokusera pa langsiktiga handlingsplaner och denna langsiktighet aterspeglades aven i dess beloningssystem. Vidare fann vi att Defenders i viss utstrackning tillampade administrativ styrning i verksamheten. Gallande foretag klassificerade som Prospectors fann vi att dessa nyttjade detaljrika mal inom det kortsiktiga planeringsomradet samt att Prospectors inom det cybernetiska omradet tillampade budget som ett instrument for att styra verksamheten. Betraffande det kulturella omradet fann vi inga starka samband fran vilka nagra generella slutsatser kunde genereras.
