Nowadays, parent companies play a strong role in the economy of countries. They are characterized by a portfolio of businesses managed and coordinated by a corporate headquarters (HQ).

Thus, this paper aims to develop a theoretical framework of HQ’s roles and interventions, as well as of situational factors that affect these roles and interventions. This paper applied the systematic review; thus, 31 articles (from 1962 to 2017) associated with HQ and corporate strategy in two databases (EBSCO and WOS) were systematically analyzed. After examining the articles, 3 roles and 21 interventions for HQ were identified.
