The Need for an Explicit Mission
Why is this firm in business? What are our economic goals? What is our operating philosophy in terms of quality,
company image, and self-concept? What are our core competencies and competitive
advantages? What customers do and can we serve? How do we view our responsibilities to stockholders,
employees, communities, environment, social issues, and competitors?

Formulating a Mission
The typical business begins with the beliefs, desires, and aspirations of a single entrepreneur
These beliefs are usually the basis for the company’s mission
As the business grows or is forced to alter its product, market, or technology, redefining the company mission may be necessary

Primary Company Goals: Survival – A firm that is unable to
survive will be incapable of satisfying the aims of any of its stakeholders.
Profitability – A firm’s profitability is the mainstay goal of a business.
Growth – A firm’s growth is tied inextricably to its survival and profitability. Growth in this sense must be broadly defined.

Public Image Both present and potential customers
attribute certain qualities to particular businesses.
Firms seldom address the question of their public image in an intermittent fashion.
Firms should be concerned with their public image even when there is no public agitation.

Company Self-Concept A major determinant of a firm’s success is the
extent to which the firm can relate functionally to its external environment.
The ability of firms to survive in a dynamic and highly competitive environment would be severely limited if they did not understand their impact on others or of others on them.
Ordinarily, descriptions of the company self-concept per se do not appear in mission statements.

Agency Theory
Agency theory is a set of ideas on organizational control based on the belief that the separation of the ownership from management creates the potential for the wishes of owners to be ignored.

Agency Theory The cost of agency problems plus the cost of
actions taken to minimize agency problems are collectively termed agency costs.
Executives are often free to pursue their own interests because of the disproportionate access they have to company information. This is the moral hazard problem.
Adverse selection is an agency problem caused by the limited ability of stockholders to determine the competencies and priorities of executives at hire.

Solutions to Agency Problem Owners pay executives a premium for their
service to increase loyalty Executives receive back-loaded
compensation. Creating teams of executives across
different units of a corporation can help to focus performance measures on organizational rather than personal goals.
