Marketing Strategy
Key Elements of Mission Statements
Not just the mission as a "wish".Purpose and values of the organization Which business the organization wants to be in (products or services, market) or who are the organizations primary "clients" (stakeholders) Which are the responsibilities of the organization towards these "clients" What are the main objectives which support the company in accomplishing its mission
Mission vs. Vision
A Mission statement: tells you what the company is now. It concentrates on the present; it defines the customer(s), critical processes and it informs you about the desired level of performance. A Vision statement: outlines what a company wants to be. It concentrates on the future; it is a source of inspiration; it provides clear decision-making criteria.
