受到以美国为主的西方战略管理理论的影响,国外企业多以“使命陈述”的称谓指称企业的战略目标陈述以及任务陈述。国外大公司大多会定义他们的使命陈述 (mission tatement)、远景(vision)、价值(value)、原则(principle)、宗旨(Objective)、目标(goals)、战略(strategies)、志向(aspiration)、道德(ethics)、誓言(pledges)、承诺(promises)和信条(creeds)。 Affected by the western strategic management theory dominated by the United States, most foreign enterprises use the title of “mission statement” to refer to the statement of their strategic objectives and their mission statement. Most large foreign companies define their mission tatement, vision, value, principle, goals, strategies, aspiration, Ethics, pledges, promises, and creeds.
