    Abstract:
    In the second part of this generic article whose purpose is to analyze what is a mission statement of an organization, the author concentrates on two fundamental points: what are the bases upon which a mission statement is constructed from a strategic perspective and what are the functions and advantages of a mission statement. With respect to this first basis, the author points out that an organization's function should be based on sound business criteria; that a mission statement should harmonize with the organizational milieu, reflect the values of the organization's professional staff while paying attention to special interest groups; and focus on professional know-how and on what works well and makes sense for the client. Concerning this second aspect, this article deals with maintaining the integrity of an organization, motivating professionals or utilizing a mission statement as a means of control.
