AT&T has two major strategy of control in its organization, first strategy pertains to the output of the teams. This type of control places emphasis on the actual targets of the company. The existence of this control strategy is seen in many organizations. It is customary for those in the management position to adhere closely to the set of objectives to achieve specific results. This means that the output is deemed more important in as much as the means intended to realize these outcomes. Hence, it shows that the company’s teams enjoy a considerable degree of independence with respect to the methods they used for reaching their respective targets pre-defined by the management.

Second strategy is the written explicit knowledge in the organizations. These include the policies as well as the rules and objectives of the organization. Both items provide a prescribed set of rules that presents the specific manner on which tasks are to be performed. However, given the departmentalization present in the company as manifested in the division of labor as well as the decentralized decision making assigned to teams, it shows that these existing policies, rules and regulations are merely directory in nature.
