  • consumer trends: rise of individualism between consumers
  • market dynamics: growth in organic or decrease in artificial segments
  • suppliers’ iniatives
  • retailer and/or manufacturer pressures: governamental initiatives

Good vision statements are BELIVABLE, CHALLENGING, MOTIVATING, SHORT & MEMORABLE, EXCITING, and SET DIRECTION.
