P&G restructuring plan targets growth

Article Abstract:

Ohio-based Procter & Gamble's (P&G) restructuring plan, called Organization 2005, could give its Canadian operations a new focus. The plan, which will be fully implemented in three to five years, aims to double the company's business every 10 years, and push P&G beyond the 4% growth in net outside sales it posted during its most recent fiscal year. Organization 2005 will allow P&G to have seven Global Business Units that will include tissues and towels, health care and corporate new ventures, food and beverage, feminine protection, fabric and home care, beauty care, and baby care.

Local phone race off to slow start

Article Abstract:

Canadian phone firms such as Sprint Canada and Rogers Cablesystems Ltd are among the 21 companies that are fulfilling obligations to become competitive local-exchange carriers (CLECs). These firms cited technical, money and trust as the major obstacles for them to become CLECs, stressing that consumers perceive their local phone service as a 'lifeline.' These firms would need an investment of C$1,200 to C$1,500 per client to enter the residential local telephone market, said Eamon Hoey, senior partner at Toronto, Ontario-based Hoey Associates.
