The Relevance of the Mission Statement Process and Cultivating the Final Product?Conclusion. 330 $aCompanies are no longer the only organizations thatdevelop mission statements; administrations, hospitals,universities, schools and associations are following. After a phase of euphoria in which true miracles wereexpected, mission statements have come underincreasing critique for their moralizing overtones.
