ABSTRACT
A coherent strategy system should integrate the global, national, regional, sectoral, and corporate levels. For a national strategy, the national and global levels are determinative of all others. The task of regional, sectoral, and corporate strategies is to refine strategies at the national and even global level. The mission positions the object of the strategy, e.g., the national socioeconomic system, to the outside world. But the mission is not only outward-oriented. It reflects national values, interests, and priorities, and serves as a platform to consolidate society to achieve strategic goals. The very movement toward ensuring human dignity can be defined as the mission underpinning the national development strategy. The goals of the strategy determining which milestones the country should aim for are directly linked to deciding on the mission. Having defined the mission, the priorities and objectives of the strategic development need to be justified and formulated.
