... The probable reason for mistakenly chosen ideas can be seeing the early stages of an innovation system as a trial-error phase [72,73], lacking key technical features, meeting buyer needs and adequate marketing support [74], poor constrained information flow [4], and no shared knowledge [75]. There, a remedy can be provided by the sharing of information [76,77], coordination and common database usage [78], decentralization of planning activities [4], no elimination of opportunities at strategic and project-level screening processes [79], knowledge exchange via conferences, research forums, seminars, and technology exchange meetings, etc. [80], and preserving of not selected but valued ideas [81]. ...

... The previous sections demonstrated that a solid basis of academic literature supports the assumption that a well-written mission statement contributes to the performance of an organization.

... By reviewing the literature, the authors can conclude that few research papers considered the role of strategic management process as an enabler to organizational ambidexterity. A few number of previous studies focus on the relation between mission statement and innovation rather than achieving organizational ambidexterity (Bart, 2000;2002;2004;Mahama and sausa, 2019). While many studies recommended empirically examining the relationship between mission fulfillment and ambidexterity (Wang & Rafiq, 2014;Palm & Lilja, 2017;Vario, 2017). ...

... Relevant studies have provided a range of frameworks and indicators from different perspectives, that offer different insights into the elements or contents that should be covered in a high-quality mission statement, for instance, a four-category typology containing purpose; strategic objectives; quantified planning targets and the business definition (Klemm et al., 1991); five elements of mission (Rahman et al., 2020;Want, 1986); eight key components (Pearce & David, 1987;Wei & Yang, 2022); nine mission components (David, 1989); ten contents (Baetz & Bart, 1996) or thematic categories (Stemler et al., 2011) of mission statements, and even 25 components (Bart, 1997) that integrate most of the relevant ones mentioned above.

An organizational mission statement is often viewed as one of the most integral "keystone" aspects for any effective strategic planning exercise (Ireland and Hitt, 1992) and for any organization to be managed successfully (Bart, 2000). Williams, Smythe, Hadjistavropoulos, Malloy and Martin (2005) concluded that the effectiveness of mission statements is contingent upon the extent to which they are communicated to the organization's members. ...
