Assignment 1: Management Planning and Organizing

As part of management planning, companies starting up need to define their vision (long term idealized ultimate company goal), their mission (or purpose statement), values (their corporate beliefs) and their company goals that they will endeavor to meet both in the short and long term. These vision, mission, and values statements are typically found on corporate websites.

Once the company goals are determined, management addresses organizing to delineate the tasks and responsibilities of employees to accomplish the goals.
