and Positioning
By Asams V.K

2. What is VISION statement?
An aspirational description of what an organization would like
to achieve or accomplish in the mid-term or long-term future
It is intended to serves as a clear guide for choosing current and
future courses of action
A vision statement is sometimes called a picture of your
company in the future, but it’s so much more than that.
It provides the framework for all your strategic planning.

3. A mission statement defines what an organization is, why it exists,
its reason for being
 At a minimum, your mission statement should define:
1) Who your primary customers are
2) Identify the products and services you produce
3) Describe the geographical location in which you operate.

What is POSITIONING Statement?

5. The Mahindra Group (Mahindra), a federated group of companies based in India, developed a new
core purpose to connect with its global stakeholders.
By 2011, Mahindra had become a US $12.5 billion Indian multinational employing over 119,900

 As Mahindra expanded globally, it was not able to connect its existing core purpose and
positioning statement to the global arena and across the businesses since 1947.

a bid to unify all its businesses.
 They launched a new tagline for the group 'Rise in January 2011. As part of the initiative,
Mahindra made some changes internally as well as externally to articulate the new core purpose and
vision.
