wants to achieve; strategy is a game plan for getting there. Every business must design a

technology strategy and sourcing strategy.” An organization’s mission statement should:
Clearly outline the main purpose of the organization, and what they do.
Mention plans by organizations on achieving the mission statement
Mention the audience of the mission statement.
Clearly outline the value organization provides

Is this mission statement market-oriented, product-oriented, production-oriented or
futuristic? Why?
2. The purpose of strategic planning is to find ways in which an organization can best use
its strengths to take advantage of opportunities within the environment.
