Abstract
CONTRERAS-PACHECO, Orlando E.; PIRAZAN PARRA, Alejandra and VILLARREAL PINZON, Maira. Mission, Vision, and Value Appropriation: A Correlational Analysis. cuad.adm. [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.74, e2111955. Epub Oct 07, 2022. ISSN 0120-4645. https://doi.org/10.25100/cdea.v38i74.11955.
The present study discusses the effective functionality of mission and vision statements in a business environment. In this spirit, the study evaluates the potential association between these two strategic elements and the achievement of organizational results, especially in terms of the competitive capacity of a company. Particularly, the study formulates a conceptual approach to determine the potential incidence of a mission and a vision statement’s quality on the organizational levels of value appropriation. Subsequently, using structural equation modeling through partial least squares, this approach is evaluated on a sample of 120 large companies registered in the Department of Santander, Colombia. The findings suggest that, although there is a positive association between a good mission and a good vision, the value appropriation only seems to depend on the former and not on the latter. The study validates that an adequately constructed mission statement could become a powerful mechanism for the sake of formulating and implementing strategies. Additionally, it states that the ability to build a quality mission is related to the company’s ability to create appropriate value and therefore, be competitive.
