Mission, Vision, Values, and Management Vision, Mission, and Value statements, as well as management, are critical when it comes to directing an organization together with its employees and stakeholders about the purpose of the firm.  The mission statement describes an entity’s reason for existing as well as its general use. On the other hand, the vision statement outlines the organization as it should appear in the coming years or decades. A company’s value statement describes what the particular entity believes in and how the organization will behave. Management is usually described as the efficient pursuit of critical organizational goals (Kinicki & Williams 2016).

With a comprehensive realization of such statements, the managerial team could successfully steer an organization.
