Many, if not most, businesses have a written mission statement. A mission statement is usually written in a rather concise format and answers the question, "Who are we, and what do we do?" Mission statements can be seen posted on company websites, office hallways, annual reports, etc. They serve the purpose of stating to their stakeholders and the general public what the company stands for and what its general purpose is.

A vision statement is different in that it is future-oriented and answers the question, "Where do we want to be?" Fundamentally, the forward-thinking vision statement drives the strategic planning process and the crafting of the firm's strategic plan. Not all forms write both mission and vision statements, and the terms are sometimes incorrectly used interchangeably.

Not all companies use both mission and vision statements. However, well-organized companies are guided by their mission, vision, or both.

Objectives are written with specific goals in mind, and the goals must be written in specific language to be measured at the end of the year. Generally, objectives are either financial or strategic in their purpose. For example, a financial objective would be to earn a minimum of 5% return on stockholder equity. In contrast, a strategic objective would be to increase market share by 5%, both to be accomplished within a specific fiscal year. 

We use the acronym SMART when we write objectives: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound.
