Defining Company Mission
A mission statement is a statement of the organization’s
purpose—what it wants to accomplish in the larger
environment
Not too narrow or too broad
Based on distinctive competencies
A clear mission statement acts like an “invisible hand” that
guides people in the organization

But this definition needs to adapt if the company grows,
offers more products, or encounters changes in its
operating environment

What is our business?
Who is the customer?
What do customers value?
What should our business be?

senses, instill well-being, and exceptionally exceeds even
the unexpressed wishes and needs of our guests….
