1. INTRODUCTION

Business can be defined as a social unit. Today, business is more publicly observable and society also curious to

get news’s of the movement of business. But, new social structure presents business with complex problem

which were not in past (Hossain, 2004).

“A business is not defined by its name, statutes, or articles of incorporation. It is defined by the business

mission. Only a clear definition of mission and purpose of the organization makes possible clear and

realistic business objectives” Peter Drucker (1973, & 1974, as cited in Ahmed, 2010; Biswas, Chowdhury, &

Das, 2007; Hossain, 2004; Meraj, Hossain, I., Shahezaman, Akter, & Hossain, S., 2011).

Mission articulates the business of the organization, for example, a production of products is manufacturer’s

mission. Similarly to deliver education at local level is an institution’s mission (Hossain, 2004).

Desmidt and Prinzie (2009) narrate that most of the organizations in both public and non earning setups are in

believe that articulating a formal mission statement will give them edge in their position. Meraj et al. (2011)

believe that Mission of the firm should be articulated to the stake holders and it can be best done via mission

statement. Hossain (2004) defines mission statement as unique, clear and well written statement that articulate

the mission to different parties (stake holders and shareholders) connected to an organization.

VOL 4, NO 2

Mission statement is the rationale for its existence (Desmidt & Prinzie, 2009; Meraj et al., 2011).Thus it gives

idea of what does the firm want and whom it likely to facilitate (Meraj et al., 2011). Mission statement is an

instrument that articulates business; target the market of the firm, and acts as force or mixture that joins different

standards (Biswas et al., 2007).

A corporate mission is more than good intent and fine thoughts. It sets the standard for the whole business so

that organization can be flourished, Prosperous and achieve its outcomes (Hossain, 2004). “Corporate mission

statements .... are the operational, ethical, and Financial guiding lights of companies. They are not simply

mottoes or slogans; they articulate the goals, dreams, behavior, culture, and strategies of companies” (Jones and

Kahaner, 1996: ix as cited in Ahmed, 2010; Biswas et al., 2007; Meraj et al., 2011).

Ahmed (2010) writes mission statements can be observed all over the place in recent years. Biswas et al. (2007)

feel various organizations hold mission statement that can not be shared at large possible reason may be setting

the standard that are unrealistic and not a part of organizational traditions. Just articulating a mission does not

directly lead to significant financial betterment.

Mission statements are stated to articulate essential features as well as to get it. Thus, narrates the actual soul of

an organization and serves as knowledge composition. For them, many scholars of public management feel that

a significant and un-ambiguous mission is favorable for value (Desmidt & Prinzie, 2009).

In order for an organization to do and go well mission statement is vital (Ahmed, 2010; Biswas et al., 2007). It

can be expressed in different medium like internal reports, annual reports etc. (Hossain, 2004). But it can be

varied in terms of wording, arrangement and lengthwise measurement, from organization to organization.

Mission statement can lead to profits and raise shareholders value (Biswas et al., 2007; Hossain, 2004; Meraj et

al., 2011). Generally the main source of business disturbance and breakdown is lack of proper thoughts on

mission and purpose of business (Hossain, 2004).

Biswas et al. (2007) claim that mission statement helps and guides in finalizing lower level objectives. Mission

statement is amongst the most essential building block of organization. Large Corporations, small businesses

and non profit organizations can also get benefit by expressing mission statement. Small businesses can grasp

their vision through mission statement.

Desmidt and Prinzie (2009) narrates mission statement should disclose the “strategic blue print” of the setup and

serves as base for several management applications. And directs the bosses and ensures effectiveness of

resource management practices.

It has become a vital means, for communication visibly, to display organization’s dedication and sincerity. Thus,

mission statement resultantly provides subsequent benefits such as:

Translates the path and rationale of firm: The stakeholders and shareholders get informed by the path of

organization, for smaller and longer tenure.

Sets the boundary line: Serves as boundary line while taking any decision like to pursue un-realistic

objectives.

Helps in decision making: It can be served as standard for decision making like in unforeseen situation to keep

the organization on right path.

Encourages and induce workers: It helps the workers to make sure that organization’s commitment is upfront

in each case (Ahmed, 2010; Biswas et al., 2007).

1.1 COMPONENTS OF MISSION STATEMENT

Fred R. David (1999, 2003 as cited in Ahmed, 2010; Biswas et al., 2007; Hossain, 2004; Meraj et al., 2011)

suggests that a valuable mission statement demonstrates nine components:

i. Customer: This content carries information regarding customers.

ii. Products or Services: This part carries information regarding products and services.

iii. Markets: Area, locations, and boundaries where the firm wants to flourish.

iv. Technology: Is the firm using state of the art technology?

v. Concern for survival, growth, and profitability: Is the organization committed in terms of financial

success and future existence?

vi. Philosophy: Describes the primary views, desires, and virtuous urgencies of the company.

vii. Self-concept: What are the organization’s unique proficiencies or key competitive edges?

viii. Concern for community perspectives: Is the firm committed to societal well-being?

ix. Concern for personnel’s: Are workers considered as intellectual assets for the organization?

Desmidt and Prinzie (2009) believe essence of mission statement may be not worthy because of its visualization

in different styles. Thus individual ambiguity needs to be minimized by negotiating and collective approach to

enhance and its understanding, right meanings at wider level.

After a critical analysis of mission statement of 21 banks using Fred R. David model as benchmark, it was found

that out of nine points scale, maximum points gained by any bank were 7, that were achieved by two banks i.e.

[Askari Bank Limited, and Bank Islami Pakistan Limited], minimum points achieved by any bank were 2 i.e. [

KASB Bank Limited].

Two banks gained 6 points (66.66%=6/9*100) out of nine i.e. [Bank Al-falah limited, and United Bank

Limited]. Nine banks gained 5 points (55.55%=5/9*100) out of nine i.e. [Allied Bank Limited, Albaraka Bank

Limited, Muslim Commercial Bank Limited, Meezan Bank Limited, NIB bank Limited, Samba Bank Limited,

Silk Bank Limited, Soneri Bank Limited, Summit Bank Limited]. Three banks gained 4 points (44.44=4/9*100)

out of nine i.e. [Bank Al habib limited, Dubai Islamic Bank Limited, Standard Chartered Bank of Pakistan

Limited]. Four banks gained 3 points (33.33=3/9*100) out of nine points i.e. [Burj Bank Limited, Faysal Bank

Limited, Habib Bank Limited, JS Bank Limited].

If we take average of 9 points scale it would become 4.5. Hence out of total 21 banks, 13 Banks gained the

scores upper than average and 8 banks gained score below than average. Our study also discloses that greater

numbers of (scheduled) banks in pakistan are interested to incorporate their concern for customers, and for

survival, growth and profitability in the mission statement.

3. CONCLUSION

Mission statements component Total Score achieved Percentage for 21 banks Rating

Customer 17 81% = 17/21*100 1=

Product & Services 16 76% = 16/21*100 3

Markets 5 24% = 5/21*100 6=

Technology 5 24% = 5/21*100 6=

Survival, Growth and profitability 17 81% = 17/21*100 1=

Philosophy 8 38% = 8/21*100 5

Self concepts 5 24% = 5/21*100 6=

Corporate social responsibility 9 43% =9/21*100 4

Employees 5 24% =5/21*100 6=

Total Score 97

It may be summarized that broadly (Scheduled) banking system’s mission statement score in Pakistan is well

above the average score card of mission statement. And Majority of the banking setups are keen to incorporate

their concerns for customers, for survival, growth and profitability, as well as concerns for product or services in

mission statement but less focus are given to Market, Technology , Employees and on self concept.
