Answer:
- Mission statement: A concise declaration of an organisation’s core purpose, values and the fundamental reason for its existence.
- Aims: Broad, long‑term outcomes that the organisation seeks to achieve in line with its mission.
- Objectives: Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time‑bound (SMART) targets that translate aims into concrete results.
- Strategy: The overall plan that outlines how the organisation will allocate resources and position itself to achieve its objectives.
- Tactics: The detailed actions, initiatives or programmes that implement the strategy on a day‑to‑day basis.
The hierarchy flows from the most abstract to the most concrete: Mission statement → Aims → Objectives → Strategy → Tactics. Each level derives its direction from the level above, ensuring alignment throughout the organisation.
