TY JOUR TI Mission as DNA: Why Company Values Should Work, Not Just Be Written KW This article analyzes the gap between a company's stated values and its actual operational practices. Systemic patterns are identified through a comparative analysis of case studies from various industries and historical periods (the Titanic disaster KW the Volkswagen and Wells Fargo scandals KW and the successful strategies of Johnson & Johnson KW Toyota KW and Patagonia). The study demonstrates that organizational resilience is determined not by the mission statement itself KW but by its functional role in management decision-making.
