Interview on Mission Statements

The purpose of this assignment is to study the process of constructing a mission statement and the use of a mission statement in operations. Find an organization that has a formal mission statement. Contact someone within that organization (your organization, a non-profit, a government agency, or a business). Ask to speak with the director, owner, or CEO and explain that you are studying mission statements and are conducting research as a class activity.

Use the following questions as a guide and develop a few additional questions for your interview:

1. When did your organization first develop its mission statement?
2. Who was responsible for its development?
3. Did you involve stakeholders and how?
4. By what process is the mission statement altered or modified and who is involved?
5. How is your mission statement used day-to-day?

Also, review the Interview on Mission Statements Scoring Guide and make sure you address all the criteria.

Summarize your interview in a short paper. Make sure to discuss why you chose to ask the questions you developed, summarize the process of constructing a mission statement, and describe the importance of the mission statement to organizations. Provide an overview of your findings and submit the information as an attachment in the assignment area.
