Corporate vision is a short, succinct, and inspiring statement of what the organization intends to become and to
achieve at some point in the future, often stated in competitive terms. Vision refers to the category of intentions
that are broad, all-inclusive and forward-thinking. It is the image that a business must have of its goals before it
sets out to reach them. It describes aspirations for the future, without specifying the means that will be used to
achieve those desired ends.
Warren Bennis, a noted writer on leadership, says: "To choose a direction, an executive must have developed a
mental image of the possible and desirable future state of the organization. This image, which we call a vision,
may be as vague as a dream or as precise as a goal or a mission statement."

Mission Statement
• What do we do?
"Our goal is simply stated. We want to be the best service organization in the world." (IBM)
"To give ordinary folk the chance to buy the same thing as rich people." (Wal-Mart)
"Our mission is to earn the loyalty of Saturn owners and grow our family by developing and
marketing U.S.-manufactured vehicles that are world leaders in quality, cost, and customer
enthusiasm through the integration of people, technology, and business systems." (Saturn)
A vision statement, on the other hand, describes how the future will look if the organization
achieves its mission. A mission statement gives the overall purpose of an organization, while a
vision statement describes a picture of the "preferred future." A mission statement explains what
the organization does, for whom and the benefit. A vision statement, on the other hand, describes
how the future will look if the organization achieves its mission.
