Assignment task:
GOAL: Create an 800-1,000 word paper that presents a compare and contrast of three companies' mission/vision/values statements, utilizing the tools of strategic planning.
Instructions: Write a 800-1,000 word paper (body content length) based on researched artifacts from three companies in the same sector of private or non-profit industry (e.g., restaurants, services, products, hospitals, etc.) and their individual presentation of mission, vision, and values. After presenting each company's brief history, mission, vision, and values, compare and contrast the various features and differences between the selected same-sector companies. Conclude your paper with a scholarly assessment about the strengths and weaknesses of the mission, vision, and values of the companies researched. Make sure to emphasize the compare/contrast element of this assignment as you look at the companies alongside each other-that is where the analytical assessment comes into play; that is the place to demonstrate your ability to think and write critically.
Use level headings (APA) to distinguish the various parts of your paper. No abstract is required, but a title page and references page are required.
