S.O.P. comes up occasionally on the forums. Any usefulness in differences or distinctions about Mission Statement, and Statement Of Purpose? Any other kind of name for alternatives to either of these?

Is this the way to understand?
Statement Of Purpose is what an individual person says and composes.
Mission Statement is what a group or an organization says or composes.

A Statement of Purpose (SOP), also known as a research statement or a letter of intent, is written to the admission panel and talks about your career path, interests, professional contributions, goals and the driving force behind pursuing a particular program.

A mission statement is defined as an action-based statement that declares the purpose of an organization and how they serve their customers. This sometimes includes a description of the company, what it does, and its objectives. A mission statement is a short summary of your company's purpose.
