WHAT IS MISSION ?
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
21/52
MISSION
Thomson(1997) defines mission as the
essential purpose of the organisation,concerning particularly:
Why it is in existence?
The nature of business (es) it is in and The customers it seeks to serve and
satisfy
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
22/52
According to Wheelen & Hunger (1999)the mission is the
purpose or reason for theorganisansexistence
Mission or purpose also describes theboundaries of business operation inthe future perspective. ( this mission
is contained in the Charter of theCompany
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
23/52
Any activity falling outside the scope ofthe charter is considered ultra-virus.
Fred David observes that:
a mission statement reveals the longterm vision of an organisation in terms ofwhat it wants to serve. It describes an
organisations purpose, customers,products or services, markets, philosophy& technology.
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
24/52
Research revelations:
A good mission statement, by addressingeach principal theme, must communicatewhy an org is special & different. Two
studies that linked corporate values andmission statements with financialperformance found that the most
successful firms mentioned values otherthan profit profits. The less successfulfirms focused almost entirely on
profitability. (Sexton, D A & Van Aukun, P M )
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
25/52
These components of a M/S answers akey question about an enterprise,
What is our business?
Mission may be
i) Abstractional &
ii) Operational.i ) Abstractional Mission: Is like ethical
code of good quality, honesty &
integrity.
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
26/52
A companys mission differs from its visionin that it encompasses both the purposeof the company as well as the basis of
competition and competitive advantage.
Although V/Ss tend to be quite enduring &seldom change but the M/S can & should
change when competitive conditionsdramatically change or the firm is facedwith new threats or opportunities.
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
27/52
Ii) Operational Mission:This is morepositive in terms of markets to be served,products and services to be produced and
manner in which it would like to competewith other rivals.
e.g; A rhyme goes like:
We shall build good ships
At a profit if we can
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
28/52
At a loss if we must
But always good ships.
Every mission has to fit in the broaderframework of socio-economic object ofsociety in which orgn operates. If it doesit, it will survive.
Mission sets the Co apart from other firmsof its type.
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
29/52
Mission indicates what the companyprovides to society, either a service like,house cleaning or a product like
automobiles.
It also includes the firms philosophy about
how it does business & treats itsemployees.
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
30/52
It tells what the organisation is now. Italso tells who we are & what we do aswell as what we would like to become.
A vision becomes more tangible in theform of a mission statement.
Mission statements are not subject to any
well-established rules regarding what theymust include.
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
31/52
Effective mission statements incorporatethe concept of stakeholder management,suggesting that organisations must
respond to multiple constituencies if theyare to survive and prosper.
Primary S/Hldrs: Customers, employees,
suppliers and owners. Others also play an important role in a
particular corporate life.

SOUND MISSION STATEMENT
A sound mission statement describes theorgns most fundamental intentions & theyare also called as Key Elements of a
Mission Statement; these are: a) Obligation towards stakeholders
b) Scope of the business: The arenas in
which Co will compete defined bycustomers served, the functions provided& the technology employed.
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
34/52
c) Sources of Competitive Advantage.
d) View of the future: How to compete inanticipated regulatory, competitive &economic environment.
So, in view of the above elements of asound M/S, a firm answers importantquestions like:
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
35/52
What is our reason for being? What is ourbasic purpose?
Our obligation towards our variousstakeholders.
What is the relative emphasis we willplace on meeting the needs of different
stakeholders.
What is distinctive about our organisation.
8/13/2019 Vision Statement Pay-Offs
36/52
What is likely to be different about the businessduring the next 3-5 years.
Who are, or who should be our principalcustomers, clients or key market segments
What are our principal goods & services, present& future.
After answering these questions the M/S helps
managers set priorities, guide strategic decisionmaking and gauge performance.
