I've been looking for awhile and can't seem to find anything that states something along the lines of you putting a permanent on the battlefield that has an effect or works with another card whose effect is "Enters the battlefield under your opponent's control".
I've noticed that there are many cards who have, what would seem to be, negative effects towards it's owner and I was just curious if anyone knows about this sort of strategy.

Not too many cards enter on your opponent's side. The closest card off the top of my head is Sleeper Agent and curses like Curse of Death's Hold.

This strategy does exist, and people play cards which are detrimental to it's controller (Immortal Coil/Steel Golem/etc), and then gives them away to their opponents with cards like Bazaar Trader or exchange effects like Shifting Loyalties. A classic combo in the past was using Donate + Illusions of Grandeur to kill your opponent.

Unfortunately, type of strategy isn't too popular in most MTG formats, but a deck in Commander which does just this revolves around Zedruu the Greathearted. You can check out the Zedruu thread in the Commander subforum to get some more ideas. http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh
