Centre of gravity
Explanation:
According to Galbraith, building upon the various stages of vertical integration chain, each firm can be said to have center of gravity that arises from the firm's position of success, strength, and dominant operations. The center of gravity provides strategic focus and order. Strategic changes take place through moves around and from this center of gravity. The firm can have more that one center of gravity, if separated and run as subsidiaries. Each industry has its stages.

center or gravity/gravitational center


Explanation:
Eu usaria a tradução literal, que num sentido figurado significa:
The point of greatest importance, interest, or activity: “The center of gravity for the English language is no longer Britain. American English is the greatest influence on English everywhere” ( Robert W. Burchfield ).
E pode também significar um ponto de equilíbrio.

agree  Mario Freitas: Isto acontece com frequência. A dica para evitar esse tipo de coisa é: poste a resposta e clique em OK. Depois, poste as referências como "Add Note". Truques de veteranos, haha.
