When establishing a successful business, no matter how big or small, one monitors progress, assesses results, and develops new programs. One must determine what they want the company to be, produce, and accomplish. Several things have to be determined for the purpose of the business or organization. For example creating a vision, mission. and values statement allows the organization and its customers to identify what the company believes in, what they want to do, and where their long term goal is. Another important component of a successful business is a strong strategic plan. One company that can benefit by re-defining their vision, mission, and values statement…
Vision and Mission Statements are brief summaries that clearly describe the direction and purpose of the organization. Vision and Mission Statements are the backbone statements that drive and describe the company from the inside out. Everything from both statements are looked upon not only by investors but outsiders as well such as employees and future customers. Included in the vision and mission statements are the values of the organization. There are times that products, services and who the organizations are, are included also in the vision and mission statements. It is important to be as informative but as brief as possible. The vision statement answers, “Who are we” the Mission statement answers “What we do’ and the values sum everything up. One goal of writing a good, and concise Vision and Mission Statement without cramming in too many words is to spend time understanding the goals of the company, the clientele of the company, the expected growth of the company and the expected expansions of the company as well as why the organization was formulated. It is also important to include in the vision and mission statement what the organization foresee short and long term when it comes to the involvement with the community and employees.…
An organization will develop a vision, mission and values for strategic direction. An organization’s vision is where it wants to be if the mission is successful and conveyed appropriately. The mission is an organizations reason for existence. The mission according to Hunger & Wheelen (2011) promotes a sense of shared expectations in employees and communicates a public image to important stakeholder groups in the company 's task environment (p. 6). The values of an organization should encompass its core competencies. Value can drive the intent of organizational planners. According to Harris (2007), "Guiding principles serve as a platform to nurture desired behaviors in the organization (p. 102). The mission, vision and values are guiding principles the managers and employees will not compromise while they are in the process of achieving the mission and pursuing the vision and strategic…
A business’ mission and vision statement is at the very foundation of their strategic planning process. Strategic planning identifies where the business wants to be at some point in the future and how it is going to get there (McNamara, 2009). The mission and vision statement provide a written compass to the roadmap for the strategic plan. Putting down in as few selective words as possible while still encompassing the essence of the business communicates to both the target market and employees what the business is about and how it’s getting there. Therefore, it’s imperative to understand how to write an effective statement. Each has their own unique purpose but work in concert with each other. Jennell Evans, President and CEO of a workplace performance improvement firm named Strategic Interactions Inc., has reported she has found the two statements mistaken for each other and/or they were very uninspiring, confusing and forgettable (Evans, 2010). Ms. Evans continues to say mission and vision statements should be…

As you are reminded in the figure, the letter “P” in the P-O-L-C framework stands for “planning.” Good plans are meant to achieve something—this something is captured in verbal and written statements of an organization’s mission and vision (its purpose, in addition to specific goals and objectives). With a mission and vision, you can craft a strategy for achieving them, and your benchmarks for judging your progress and success are clear goals and objectives. Mission and vision communicate the organization’s values and purpose, and the best mission and vision statements have an emotional component in that they incite employees to delight customers. The three “planning” topics of your principles of management cover (1) mission and vision, (2) strategy, and (3) goals and objectives. The figure summarizes how these pieces work together.…

In business there are several key strategies and planning roles that are usually standard guidelines or practices that are used to develop a well organized profitable organization. However unlike other functional responsibilities such as sales, marketing, finance, or manufacturing the strategic planning role does not have a sharply defined identity (Thompson, Strickland & Gamble, 2009). Although, in my opinion, strategic planning is inevitably one of the most important key ingredients needed for the growth and overall success of a company. Likewise, this paper will develop an argument supporting the importance of a strategic plan for the success of the defined business and the author will create a mission statement for the company explaining how the mission will be essential to the company’s success. Then the writer will also create a vision statement for the company explaining how the vision statement supports the company’s mission as well as establish five (5) key objectives for the company encompassing operational, financial, and human resource aspects of the business and justify why each of these objectives is essential to the success of the business. In addition, the writer will justify how the five (5) key objectives established support the mission and vision statements of the company as defined in the assignment and lastly the author will conclude the paper.…
I have developed world-class technical experience during my tenure at IBM. As a Software Engineer and Pre-Sales Specialist, I developed a diversified range of skill-sets that have garnered both distinction and praise. Specifically, my coordination of innovative product development, product management, and staff management has earned me a promotion, and two patents. In addition, my contribution as a Pre-Sales Specialist was awarded with IBM’s prestigious “Top Gun” award, which is given to a top 10% performer. In conjunction with my technical accomplishments, I actively cultivated my ability to interact with clients, lead and empower colleagues, and enable business projects. However, in order to become a consummate Strategic Consultant for IBM, I still require the fundamental acumen in finance, accounting, marketing, and other core business areas. The opportunity to enrich my knowledge of these fundamental disciplines, within an educational context that emphasis the importance of global business and internationalism, leads me squarely toward Duke.…
Companies summarize their goals and objectives in Mission and Vision statements. Both these things serve different purposes for the company but are often confused with each other. While a mission statement describes what the company wants now, the vision statement describes what the company wants to be in the future.…
