Yes , I absolutely agree even so when companies use properly mission, vision and values statements can be very powerful tools. They are inspiring words developed by leaders to clearly and concisely convey the purpose, direction and driving forces of their organization. By creating clear, meaningful and reflective statements, you can powerfully communicate your intentions and motivate and inspire your team to ensure they understand the objectives of the organization, to make consistent everyday decisions and to achieve buy-in to new directions. Your team members will gain a sense of pride in working as part of an organization that stands for something and are united by a common sense of purpose. The explanation Why do they matter is that Mission, vision and values statements are crucial to communicating the “who, what and why” for your organization to corporate management, team members and to the users of your services. It’s not enough to feel passionate about the products and services your organization offers, you and your entire team also have to consciously understand the framework of what drives the organization. This is essential in order to effectively communicate those drivers to a diverse group of people. The more clearly you can articulate your high-level goals from the start, the less time and resources you will spend on trying to fix poor communication, alignment, employee engagement and unwanted cultural behaviors later. Your strategic goals and tactical plans will be more aligned, streamlined and easier to communicate to your stakeholders.
Vision and mission statements play an important role in strategy development by providing vehicles to generate and screen strategic options. They also provide organizational identity and understanding of business directions.

I fully agree with the answers been added by EXPERTS.............Thanks.
Thanks
No doubt , I agree with this statement
Absolutely!
You need to know who you are, what value you're adding to people's lives.
P.S: Set milestones for yourself.
I do not think there is any organization without a purpose, moreover organizations are established for achieving goals with vision. Orgaizational goals may be for profit, social service, employment opprtunities or any other goals.
To merely exist one does not need all of the above i would say
Any company should have a clear mission statement to successfully continue ... It is very important to know what you should do and how ... It is kind of successful planning and strategy !
Thank You
