“…Content analysis is particularly effective with difficult-to-measure or latent constructs (Short et al, 2010) such as leadership, and mission statements are typical units of analysis for this technique (see Alegre et al, 2018; Holosko et al, 2015; Wilkerson & Crystal, 2018 for examples of peer-reviewed papers that use content analysis of mission statements).…”

Analyzing mission statements from 1,420 community foundations, this research aims to determine whether community foundations portray themselves as primarily transactional or transformational in their leadership style. Results indicate that approximately half of the community foundations present themselves as transformational dominant although about a third demonstrate transactional dominance. The well-established leadership categories of transformational and transactional (a) give us a new way to explore community foundations’ roles in their communities, (b) help us better understand the way community foundations perceive themselves and their leadership, and (c) provide a mechanism to assess how community foundations are presenting their missions to their communities. In addition, by examining organizations as the unit of analysis, this research answers long-standing calls in leadership studies to consider levels of analysis beyond the individual.

“…Business school's vision and mission statements were collected from their official websites.

This study employs Content Analysis, as it is commonly used technique in contemporary business studies.…”

The purpose of this paper is to answer seven famous myths about vision and mission statements by analysing the vision and mission statements of FT Ranked Top 100 Business Schools in the world. First myth states that all business schools have both vision and mission statements. Second myth says both mission and vision statements are equal in length. Third myth states that all nine components must be present in all mission statements. Fourth myth assumes faculty is the hallmark of business school’s mission. Fifth myth states technology is at the centre stage of business school’s mission. Sixth myth assumes research is not part of business school’s mission. Finally, seventh myth says leadership is no more part of business school’s mission. FT ranking for Top 100 Business Schools was selected for this study and business school’s vision and mission statements were collected from their official websites. Content analysis was used as the major data analysis technique. Data analyses using descriptive statistics proved all seven myths wrong.

“…In these publications, the broadly understood mission is discussed alongside concepts such as human resource management (Kim and Wook Lee, 2007;Brown and Yoshioka, 2003;Wilson and Gislason, 2009;Akinlade and Shalack, 2017), strategic management (Krug and Weinberg, 2004; van der Pijl and Sminia, 2004) and innovation management (McDonald, 2007). Sector-specific analyses have also been performed, in which the mission is discussed in the context of hospitals (Bart and Hupfer, 2004;Bolon, 2005;Chapman and Varda, 2017), schools and universities (Boerema, 2006;Morphew and Hartley, 2006;Holosko et al, 2015;Wilkerson and Evans, 2018), social services (Christensen and Ebrahim, 2006) etc.…”
