MISSION
The mission is the very
reason and justification for the existence of a firm. Mission is always defined
in terms of the benefits the firm provides to its customers and not in terms of
any physical dimensions of the firm or its products.
A firm exists and functions only in relation to the customer
whose need(s) it satisfies.. If there were no customers there would be no firm.
Thus the starting point for, defining the mission of any business is its customer.
Since the customer exists outside the business, the mission must be defined
from the outside. The firm must ask the questions "What is our
business?" and "What should it be?" but seek the answer from the
customer's viewpoint.
