Abstract: | <p>Mission statements seem to be everywhere and yet we know so little about their value and effectiveness. To tackle this problem, we reviewed the relevant mission literature to discover what others had to say about mission statements.

We also found what seems to distinguish mission statements that work from those that do not.</p> |
