The Walt Disney Company’s international popularity is a result of effective strategic management that applies a mission statement and a vision statement suited to the entertainment, amusement park, and mass media industries.

The vision statement centers itself on the future and what the company aspires to become. The mission statement centers itself on the present and what the company currently does. While organizations regularly utilize mission and vision statements, it’s significant to acquire both. Additionally, it is very important to know that one cannot function without the other, because possessing a purpose and a meaning is crucial in any organization.

The main objectives of Walt Disney is to be the primary source of entertainment for kids and adults.

1) The Difference Between Mission and Vision Statements

A company’s mission details the main goal of the company. It expresses what the company is presently and will be performing for the next couple of years. The mission statement details what you perform, who you perform it for and the gain it supplies. It’s most commonly a short

statement, something that any worker can easily read aloud and be proud to represent on a Tshirt. Contrarily, the vision statement concerns to where the organization aspires to be going in the future if they can accomplish their mission. The vision statement should be phrased so that it supplies direction and innovation. It’s a progressive statement that is expected to be accomplished in a five-to-ten-year time period. For Example, Walt Disney Mission Statement. “to entertain, inform and inspire people around the globe through the power of unparalleled storytelling, reflecting the iconic brands, creative minds and innovative technologies that make ours the world’s premier entertainment company.” Vision Statement. “to be one of the world’s leading producers and providers of entertainment and information.”

2) Yes, I think that my company's vision and mission align with consumers' perceptions of the company

A company’s accomplishments are commonly connected to motivating vision, clear mission and powerful values. Without worker buy in, these notions are useless. Customer involvement is critical to a company’s success and alignment is feasibly even more significant.

It’s significant to understand that when workers comprehend their main role in the company, 91 percent will aspire to succeed. In the case that they don’t, that 91 declines to just 23 percent.

Hence communication is only reached when the receiver understands the message and then cues the sender using a feedback loop.
