importance of mission and vision statements and the code of ethics for a business

Develop a succinct corporate email (approximately 1–2 pages) to your manager on the importance of mission and vision statements and the code of ethics for a business. Research your chosen website and be ready to give some design suggestions for the website.

Do not send the email to faculty as a real email. Use the Assessment 2 Template [DOCX]Download Assessment 2 Template [DOCX]to write the email using professional grammar, mechanics, and references. Research the mission, vision, and code of ethics on the corporate website of the business you selected for the last assessment. The interactive activity Mission, Vision, and Ethics can take you through these first few steps and get a start on your assessment.

• Find the mission and vision statements on the website.
• Look for ways the company puts its mission and vision into action and note one or two examples.
• Locate the corporate code of ethics. How is it displayed? Is it directed mostly at employees or at consumers? What kind of examples are given?
• What improvements would you recommend for these statements, and why?

2. Review the interactive activity QuickStart: Mission, Vision, and Ethics to learn the key purposes of these statements. This activity is linked to the Assessment hub page and counts toward engagement. Gather any additional background you need on the topic, including reading the resources in “First Steps,” if you choose and the resource below. Be prepared to cite at least three reputable resources to support your ideas, including the website you researched.
