A firm's statement of broad objectives or mission statement should accomplish all of the following except?

  1. Outlining strategies for technological development, market expansion, and product differentiation.
  2. Defining the purpose of the company.
  3. Providing an overall guide to those in high-level, decision-making position.
  4. Stating the moral and ethical principles that guide the action of the firm.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The determination of organizational objectives is the first step in the planning process. A mission statement is a formal, written document that defines the organization's purpose in society, for example, to produce and distribute certain goods of high quality in a manner beneficial to the public, employees, shareholders, and other constituencies. Thus, a mission statement does not announce specific operating plans. It does not describe strategies for technological development, market expansion, or product differentiation because these are tasks for operating management.
