The Mitsubishi group is a keiretsu rather than a conglomerate, so it's a little more complicated than that. These are groups of Japanese companies that purchase interlocking shares of one another, making it nearly impossible for anyone to successfully execute a hostile takeover of any of the member companies (as combined the group owns enough shares in each company to maintain control, and they are generally fiercely loyal to one another).
As such, there isn't really much of a centralized command structure as individually no member controls enough shares of the other firms to exert direct control. The member companies generally work cooperatively (often sharing resources), and there are certainly firms that are stronger than others in the grouping - however there is no direct chain of command in the traditional sense.
