This excerpt taken from the SMG 10-K filed Dec 14, 2006. Strengthen our
International Business
We have explored the strategic options for our International
business and determined that the best option for maximizing
shareholder value is to sharpen our focus for the business by:
(i) improving our competitive position; (ii) reducing
costs in the business to improve profitability and to allow for
marketing investments; and (iii) aligning the organization
by category rather than by geography to better leverage our
knowledge of the marketplace and the consumer. We plan to
achieve these goals through a variety of initiatives, including
reducing the complexity of the business and the product
portfolio, improving supply chain efficiency and effectiveness,
and aggressively pursuing new business opportunities.
