Misja jako element zarządzania strategicznego muzeum

Museums in Poland are developing dynamically and undergoing intensive transformations. More and more attention is paid to the issues of management, including the ones connected with a missionary role of museums. The concept of a mission is commonly identified with the purposes of museums and the main subject of their activity. The aim of this article is to analyze a mission as an element of strategic management for museums, as well as to identify the scale of the phenomenon of a mission formulated by Polish museums (how many of them have a formulated mission?), and to analyze the content of a mission, mainly with reference to the objectives included in the law on museums. The article discusses the results of the existing data analysis (the websites review and the Public Information Bulletin of museums which are in the database of the National Institute of Museums and Public Collections).
