The research is of a qualitative nature and has been interviewed by experienced petrochemical industry managers through snowball sampling and the interviews have continued until the theoretical saturation of 23 interviews. The propositions of this research were extracted by the data base method and analyzed by MAXQDA software. Based on the results of the analysis of data obtained from the experts participating in the research, the observation model of the petrochemical firm's parent-level, developed at the corporate level, consists of 448 open source codes, divided into 77 common propositions. The propositions at this level are divided into 14 main categories and 5 concepts, including concepts; Financial (18%), Corporate processes (20%), Customers and stakeholders (20%), Growth and wisdom (12%) and the defense becomes passive (30%). Consequently, if the parent company can obtain comprehensive information with the right, appropriate and timely indicators in addition to identifying the influential variables of the status of its subsidiaries (children), it can be successful in strategic decision making of subsidiaries and value creation.
