Understanding Mission and Vision Statements in Organizations
A mission statement encapsulates an organization's core purpose and objectives, while a vision statement outlines aspirations and future direction. The mission focuses on "what" and "how," while the vision emphasizes the "why." Combining both statements creates a unified reason for existence, guiding internal decisions and aligning efforts. Crafting a clear vision involves motivating people, coordinating actions efficiently, and matching the company's capabilities. Similarly, defining the mission entails explaining the business's meaning, purpose, and desired achievements in harmony with the external and internal environment.

Mission and Vision defining
What is a Mission Statement? A mission statement is a short summary of an organization s core purpose, focus, and aims. This usually includes a brief description of what the organization does and its key objectives. What is a Vision Statement? A vision statement is a short description of an organization s aspirations and the wider impact it aims to create. It should be a guiding beacon to everyone within the organization and something which underpins internal decision-making and determines the intended direction of the organization. What s the Difference Between a Mission Statement and a Vision Statement? In short: The mission is the what and the how, and the vision is the why. The mission statement defines what an organization does. The vision statement, meanwhile, should clarify the aspirations of the organization and define the direction it s heading in. Many organizations combine the two statements to form one clearly defined reason for existing that unites the efforts of everyone involved.
VISION VISION- -MISSION MISSION- -OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVES- -STRATEGY STRATEGY- -TACTICS TACTICS The vision represents a set of specific ideals and priorities of the company, a picture of its successful future, which is based on the basic values or philosophy with which the goals and plans of the company are associated. It answers the question of what the company will look like in the future. A well-formulated vision contains an innovative charge and creates positive feelings for all involved for motivation. The vision has three basic goals: Clarify the general intention Motivate people to move in the right direction Coordinate the efforts of many people quickly and efficiently The vision should match the capabilities and capabilities of the company It is more difficult to promote a vision than to formulate it
VISION VISION- -MISSION MISSION- -OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVES- -STRATEGY STRATEGY- -TACTICS TACTICS The mission is to explain the meaning, purpose of the business, a statement of what the company wishes to achieve (Kotler, Armstrong, 2004). The mission is the main reason for the company's existence. It should be in harmony with both the external and internal environment. The company's mission is presented by: The meaning of the company's existence Relationship to other market players Standards of behavior for the entire organization Long-term values recognized by the company
VISION VISION- -MISSION MISSION- -OBJECTIVES STRATEGY STRATEGY- -TACTICS TACTICS To define the mission, the company must define 3 dimensions: Customer groups (market segments) Customer needs Markets Products OBJECTIVES- - The mission should therefore include answers to the following questions: Who are our customers? What need does the company satisfy and what is its goal? Where does it work? What is the company's "philosophy"? What are the advantages of the company and its competitive advantages? With which products will the company satisfy the wishes of customers, even the unspoken ones?
VISION VISION- -MISSION MISSION- -OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVES- -STRATEGY STRATEGY- -TACTICS TACTICS The mission should be in accordance with the corporate (organizational) culture and have a positive effect on social relations. Defining a mission should be neither too broad nor too narrow, but concise and realistic. It should fit into the context of the environment in which the company operates. Once management recognizes that the company's operations deviate from its mission, it must once again look for the meaning of its existence. Formulating a mission is a matter for top management.
