What two statements correctly describe vision or mission? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AA mission is a statement of the purpose of a company.
• BA vision is what a company wants to become in the mid-term or long-term future.
• CA vision describes actions the organization will take to achieve specific goals.
• DA mission identifies the company's planned investments to increase revenue.
• EA vision is only used by for-profit companies.
• FA mission is only used by public sector organizations.

• A
  94% (30)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

A is correct because a mission statement defines why an organization exists - its core purpose (e.g., "To organize the world's information"). B is correct because a vision statement describes a desired future state - where the organization aspires to be long-term (e.g., "To be Earth's most customer-centric company").

Why the distractors are wrong:

• C describes a strategy or action plan, not a vision
• D describes a financial goal or investment plan, not a mission
• E is false - nonprofits and public sector organizations widely use vision statements
• F is false - missions are used by all organization types, including private companies

Memory tip: Think M = Meaning (mission = why we exist) and V = Vista (vision = the future landscape we're heading toward). Mission is present-focused purpose; vision is future-focused aspiration.
