Actividad 1
Corporate Mission and Company Profile

1. Prior to starting the development of this activity, read Chapter 8 from Introducing Translation studies and explore the First Learning Object regarding the structure of the mission statement in a company. After going over this Object, analyze the following Mission Statement and establish the three parts in which it is divided:
The Big Brothers/ Big Sisters of America (Portfolio)

1.     Propósito de la organización.

3. Now that you understand a little bit better the structure of corporate statements, it is time to review a real company profile and analyze its components. Read both the Sample Company Profile and Israel NewTech Profile.
