...Introduction Vision statements are necessary to promote change and to eventually embrace it. As mentioned in the reading, “effective visions are focused enough to guide decisions-making yet are flexible enough to accommodate initiative and changing circumstances (Cooper et al, 2005). Mission statements are also very important for organizations because they provide the purpose of the existence of that organization. Lastly, strategy statements are the logical steps on how the business is going to reach the vision statement and keep up to its mission statement. Statements A.

...strategic variety involves vision, mission and outside-of-the-box thinking. Strategic planning describes where you want your company to go, not necessarily how you're going to get there. However, like all other "travel plans," without knowing where you want to go, creating details on how to arrive are meaningless. Strategic planning defines the "where" that your company is heading. Strategic planning is the core of any business. Thompson, A.A., Strickland, A.J., & Gamble, J.E. (2010) Crafting and Executing Strategy: The quest for competitive advantage: Concepts and cases: 2009 custom edition (17th ed). Unlike business plans, there is no one right way to create effective strategic planning. It is, by definition, brainstorming at its best. Strategic planning involves "feel" just as much as it depends on management science. Since it depends on creativity and outside-the-box thinking, there is no perfect way to design a winning strategic plan. The more you understand your company, your industry, and your corporate "wish list," the better a winning strategic plan you'll create. Pearce, John, & Robinson, Richard Strategic Management 12th edition As critical as business planning is to the success of your company, all plans are useless unless followed by action.

...company is worried about finances; and because there isn’t a lot of profit going around, people can become scared of things like their jobs and families. The book breaks down on how to win into four sections. The first section is the philosophy on management such as mission and values and how everyone should have a voice in any kind of business. The next section is about the inside of a company. It talks about the mechanics of a company which are “people, processes, and culture” (pg.8). The next section talks about the outside of a company such as competitors, growth, and strategic advantages. The next section is the professional life. This section talks about how to find the right job, working with a bad boss, and getting promoted. The final section is about how Jack Welch “answer[s] nine questions that did not fall into any of the above categories” (pg. 8) such as the “China threat” diversity. The purpose of this book is to show that winning isn’t impossible. From these four sections of the book, Jack Welch shows us that in every aspect of business from managing a successful business to being hired by your company, winning is achievable. One of the things that Welch teaches us is the concept of mission and values. A mission is defined when it answers this question: “How do we intend to win in this business?” (pg. 14).
