Kraft Foods Group, Inc. Mission, Vision, Values and Goals
Kraft Foods Group, Inc. has developed an effective business plan strategy that includes concise mission statement, vision statement, values and goals. The original company was established over 100 years ago; however, it has undergone significant restructuring in October, 2012 by splitting into two separate companies (Forbes, 2013). The resultant Kraft Foods Group, Inc. manufactures and markets packaged food products, including beverages, cheeses, convenient meals and various grocery products primarily marketed within the North American markets with the majority of its sales coming from the U.S. and Canadian markets.
