Question 1
The three statements are crucial in a company because they enable the organization to determine an effective business strategy by providing goals, objectives, and purpose to the audience (Kokemuller, 2014). Besides, the three statements outline the standards based on the firm's goals and obligations.
Question 2
The three statements act as the source of motivation to work hard to attain the firm's obligations, considering that each employee has specific responsibilities that contribute to company goals. Professionally, employers always set specific objectives where employees are expected to perform and improve workplace productivity. The employees will learn from the statements about core professional obligations and values, enabling them to meet the firm's standards (Kokemuller, 2014).
Question 3
In every business, the business plan outlines important aspects of the business to warrant productivity and effectiveness (Kokemuller, 2014). The organization's mission, vision, and values enable the organization to outline activities related to customer's expectations and align with the tenets presented in the statements. This allows the organization to utilize available resources effectively. The statements reinforce key strategies, goals, and objectives that act as a force in effective business planning. Furthermore, the mission, vision, and values offer the organization intensity to research critical issues affecting their business progression, whether internal or external (Kokemuller, 2014). All these aspects are covered within the business plan and help stakeholders achieve their long-term or short-term goals.
