We introduce a new subgroup embedding property in a finite group called s∗-semipermutability. Suppose that G is a finite group and H is a subgroup of G. H is said to be s∗-semipermutable in G if there exists a subnormal subgroup K of G such that G = HK and H ∩ K is s-semipermutable in G. We fix in every non-cyclic Sylow subgroup P of G some subgroup D satisfying 1 < |D| < |P | and study the structure of G under the assumption that every subgroup H of P with |H | = |D| is s∗-semipermutable in G. Some recent results are generalized and unified.
