In 2005, we were able to deliver on our strategic financial goals of double-digit EPS growth and mid to upper single-digit revenue growth, and we are solidly tracking toward our goal of 9.5 percent operating margins. We are starting to demonstrate the scalability of our business model.
Chris Killingstad
This is a strategic choice that Wal-Mart is making. We respect their decision to emphasize the private label.
Phil Marineau
Europe needs a powerful, strategic response to what is a major strategic challenge and opportunity in China's growth.
Peter Mandelson
Expanding our footprint in Oklahoma is part of overall strategic plan. The Tulsa launch went extremely well. We plan on winning this market by offering competitive rates and investing in our popular user-friendly features.
Bruce Howard
Lincoln Re is an excellent strategic fit with our plans to expand our life and health reinsurance business globally and to further strengthen our leading life and health reinsurance business in North America.
Walter Kielholz
Johnson orchestrated numerous strategic acquisitions to expand the presence of Hormel Foods, most notably The Turkey Store. He refined the company's marketing strategy to significantly advance the sale of value-added products, and established Hormel Foods as a significant player in the ethnic foods marketplace.
Robert Waller
This is the kind of investment that is reflective of the strategic commitment and intention to continue a military presence in Iraq .
Thomas Donnelly
Aside from his obvious touring expertise and success, ... Arthur is someone that has the rare combination of strategic and creative processing, which is an invaluable combination in this business and something I tap into often as we continue to evolve our global business strategy.
Michael Rapino
We're truly honored to join CUNA Strategic Services' program as their exclusive security compliance assessment provider. Our comprehensive assessments make it easy for credit unions to stay ahead of dynamic security threats and continually changing regulatory demands. We're eager to work with credit unions to alleviate their compliance burden.
Pete Stewart
We don't tell the White House who they should consider, but our organization is close to the White House. Historically, we have been a source of strategic advice to the White House in defending it's nominees.
Sean Rushton
Presevo is about 90 percent ethnic Albanian -- it is a very tense place, I have been there myself -- it lies in a strategic valley.
Mark Almond
EDS continues to be a very strategic IT supplier to GM. We expect that EDS will continue to provide and improve our world-class capabilities while reducing our costs globally.
Ralph Szygenda
In light of our financial results, the actions taken today, while painful, are necessary to recalibrate the business and move forward with our strategic direction.
Carol Bartz
Utility costs represent a sizeable increase of the proposed budget request by 75 percent. Our utility costs are up $740,000 over FY06. We are working on a strategic education plan for the schools that will have a vision statement.
Karen Berry
The continued strategic and operating advances we are making, combined with strong organic growth now being realized as each of our businesses expands their market share, will drive positive performance into 2006.
William Mcguire
While Mr. Owens deserves praise for stepping into a very tough role after the firing of CEO Frank Dunn, we had been increasingly concerned about strategic drift at Nortel, ... In addition, he signally failed to deliver on a promise for greater transparency in financial reporting.
Steve Kamman
We have it all in our strategic mix of professional alliances. We planned ahead of time the obstacles that we may encounter.
Wanda Shelley
In addition to steady license progress, we have begun to see the results of our strategic initiative to build out services partnerships and channels, ... We generated more than 50 percent growth in our service revenue due in part to contributions from MKS Solutions Partners in customer implementations.
Dr. Michael Harris
The successful shooting of a ballistic missile from underwater was yet another confirmation of the effectiveness of the system of the military administration, and also the reliability of the naval strategic nuclear forces.
Igor Dygalo
ESA is the strategic direction of the SAP product and it is a great example of why it's important to understand the upgrade path in the future.
Rod Masney
We see a major increase in organizations that use the MAC OS and Linux platforms and are seeking to implement strong authentication security solutions. Aladdin sees support of the MAC OS and Linux platforms, in addition to our broad support for the Windows environment, as an important strategic initiative that will enable us to expand our business in key markets.
Shlomi Yanai
I think it's a good, strategic move for the men's basketball program. It'll help them gain some experience for next year with some new players on the team.
Mckinley Boston
This deal makes a lot of strategic sense. It combines complimentary liquidity pools.
Rich Repetto
This move makes HP look much more like IBM and, in our opinion, makes strategic sense.
Tom Kraemer
We have considered many strategic options over the last several years and this merger is by far the most attractive.
Roger King
The better informed an organization is, the better it will be able to spell out strategic options ahead of time and respond more quickly to inevitable changes in the market. Organizations which begin now to evaluate how conducive their operations are to Part D will find themselves best prepared to handle various new target groups and a reinvigorated Medicare marketing message.
Jon Hess
There is an incredibly robust telecommunications infrastructure that was initiated due to the Strategic Air Command being positioned here, just south of Omaha. There are a number of national companies with their headquarters here, which would surprise many folks.
Dan Connolly
What is the strategic vision for JLT going forward? What they're effectively saying is that 2006 isn't going to be a turning point in terms of profitability, so perhaps they should forget about 2006 and get the business and the strategy right going forward.
Charles Coyne
We believe the next appropriate step in this process is to explore strategic alternatives for our Parisian specialty department store business, which could include its sale. We believe there is a very bright future for this unique franchise, and that meaningful opportunity exists for continued revenue growth and substantial operating income improvement.
Brad Martin
That will probably happen in a separate release once we make an acquisition or form a strategic relationship with a best-of-breed vendor in that area.
Robert Craig
Our success at implementing strategic initiatives such as re-entering the Northeast market and entering an alternative trade for the single-hull tanker Allegiance will also serve the company well.
Jonathan Whitworth
The strategic addition of Nigel's practice furthers the overall mission of our Insurance & Financial Services group: to be recognized as the preeminent law firm serving the insurance industry -- worldwide.
Mike Goldman
In an environment where trade spend costs are rising faster than sales, charting a path to higher impact trade programs has become a strategic imperative for most foodservice manufacturers. Our customers look to us for foodservice expertise and the technology solution required to enable their trade spend initiatives.
Anthony Wilson
They both understand their businesses well, but they have different styles. With Ed, what you see is what you get, where Ivan is a more strategic thinker.
Robert Rock
We have secured a premium price for a substantial number of our beverages businesses, ... We will retain robust and profitable beverages operations in the U.S.A. and Europe and simultaneously broaden our strategic options for the further development of the company.
John Sunderland
We've always said we have a number of strategic alternatives that we're looking at...We continue to do that.
Toni Simonetti

Richard Perle
It certainly fits in well with New Brunswick's Prosperity Plan, which emphasizes the development of strategic infrastructure to improve competitiveness, and facilitate the movement of people, goods, and services to national and international markets.
Bernard Lord
Syria has a strategic position in the region, I don't deny her role, her alliance with the resistance or our friendship with her although that many Lebanese pretended to have forgotten that there is an enemy called Israel which is still targeting us and constituting a danger to the Lebanese people.
Hassan Nasrallah
We are delighted to welcome Shad to the team. His expertise in successful acquisitions and integrations will complement our organic growth plans. Several strategic investments will expand the OH Logistics network and allow us greater opportunities to provide value-added services to our clients.
Scott Mcwilliams
You'll probably see more private equity firms step up to this one than strategic buyers.
Peter Shaerf
DaimlerChrysler places a high strategic importance on a healthy supply base and understands that no automaker can win in today's global marketplace without the help of its suppliers.
Peter Rosenfeld
It was a very important goal to restore service to home library users. In addition to providing libraries, providing library access through the Internet is a key strategic goal.
Martina Kominiarek
The time of big mergers is over, for the moment, but we can see more strategic alliances of the Renault and Nissan kind.
Patrice Solaro
The new fund will be playing in different space, but you can make some assumptions about how it might perform by looking at Strategic Equity Fund.
Sonya Morris
One of our primary objectives is to bring HOMELAND SECURITY CORPORATION to a fully reporting status. Further, it is our intent to move forward with our sales and marketing plan for 2006 and develop strategic alliances in the government security sector. These actions underline the commitment to build shareholder equity and confidence.
David Singer
It was all very strategic. Miramax wanted the buzz to spread, but slowly, so people would be clamoring for it.
Neil Meron
From a strategic standpoint it makes sense to do that in some fashion because it's such a big contract. It puts the loser at a big risk.
Christopher Mecray
From a strategic standpoint, this transaction will strengthen our presence in many of our existing markets across the country -- particularly in Northern and Southern California and the Southwest -- and enables us to enter important urban markets like Chicago and Philadelphia for the first time. Additionally, we will enter the stand-alone drugstore business for the first time.
Gary Michael
We are trying to round out partnerships with strategic vendors.
Mike Grandinetti
Our decision to partner with Silver Lake to take the company private represents the culmination of a thorough review of our standalone plan and strategic alternatives, ... We believe this is the best value proposition for our shareholders.
Mark Woodward
These latest license agreements have demonstrated our ability to execute and expand our core strategic initiatives to develop a footwear industry powerhouse that generates high-margin revenues.

John Hanna
Will further accelerate the creation of global hit titles and be responsible for creative, technical and strategic direction setting of development and production.
Phil Harrison
We're fully committed to our sales process, which the board believes is the best way to deliver full and fair value to all stockholders. We've already attracted interest from potential financial and strategic acquirers and believe that Red Zone's proposed action could concern potential buyers and disrupt the sales process.
Jeremy Jacobs
We have made a strategic decision to invest heavily in natural gas.
Michael Niggli
It has been a very good year in an extremely challenging environment. We took several strategic steps to enhance and distribute wealth to our shareholders. What is even more gratifying is the growth in our profits from a little over US$ 1 billion to over US$ 2 billion in a span of just 24 months.
Mukesh Ambani
By 2012, the BI-PM continuum will drive business transformation from the strategic to the operational levels.
Betsy Burton
They're having to make strategic decisions about where to send people literally in midair. It's a very difficult thing to prioritize when they're all a priority.
John Matessino
America has a strategic interest in continuing to welcome international students at our colleges, universities, and high schools. Attracting the world's top scientific scholars helps to keep our economy competitive.
Norm Coleman
It was a basic run-through of how we would facilitate our SNS, or strategic national stockpile plan, which is how we dispense meds to citizens in La Salle County, whether it's medication or vaccination.
Jenny Barrie
The Philippines is an important strategic partner to Australia in the fight against terrorism.
Robert Hill
The U.S. would like to take U.S.-China relations to the next level. The challenge ... is to show the American public that there's some result, that there's some productive output from this increasingly candid and strategic discussion between the two leaders.
Mike Green
While the operating results are disappointing, we made significant progress toward executing our strategic plans during the quarter.
Gil Amelio
We have decades of experience implementing enterprise applications around the world with 5,000 to 8,000 people working on enterprise applications, customizing ERP and CRM. We have strategic Oracle, Siebel, PeopleSoft and other alliances.
Chris Weitz
As a board, we always meet annually to discuss strategic plans for the next two years. We try to look two years out. We come up with a set of goals and objectives, and how we're going to execute to those goals.
Kristi Browder
[We] will construct the case for the campaign around the ideals of the vision statement and the specifics of the strategic plan.
Johnnie Ray
Red Hat expanded its sources of revenue by introducing strategic solutions to our global customers, which contributed to our strong operating results. Our management team has continued to accomplish the operational and financial goals stated a year ago.
Matthew Szulik
The new strategic environment requires new approaches to deterrence and defense.
Peter Flory
The Americans know better than anyone that their troops in the region and in Iraq are vulnerable. I would advise them not to commit such a strategic error.
General Yahya Rahim Safavi
China is Russia's friendly neighbour. We hope that in car making in particular our strategic partnership will be profound and long-term.
Liang Henian
The relationship has expanded from transactional to strategic.
Joe Redling
These big trees can get knocked down and if one goes across a creek at a strategic location it could cause flooding. Just to be safe, we have our crews out.
Mike Di Marco
Japan's decision to build more intense relationship with India as reflected by two countries assertion to upgrade their strategic dialogue is indicative of newer realignment of forces in Asia.
Rajeev Sharma
It's a strategic team with business acumen.
Laurie Hodges
Sun has not gotten its cost structure under control and is more of a strategic muddle.
Arnie Berman
And finally, I think countries must be more strategic in terms of energy policy and reforms.
Kathy Sierra
Intimates is the perfect platform from which to launch our first sub-brand. We already have a successful intimates business, and we believe the opportunity to extend our presence is significant. Along with our new casual sportswear concept, MARTIN + OSA, the aerie sub-brand demonstrates our commitment to strategic initiatives that will continue to drive the growth of our company.
Jim O'donnell
It's just a great stock to own here, ... The company is growing in excess of 20 percent. The demographics are great for education. The company is selling at about 15 times what we think they can earn next year. It's also one of the few independent publishers left and so we think it's a strategic acquisition candidate, probably worth over $60 a share, and the stock's at about $45.
James Awad
Pakistanis somehow regard the growth of an Indo-American strategic partnership as some kind of a negative development. A zero-sum game is what is in their mind, though the Americans are at pains to explain to both sides that America remains their friend while they are running their own cold war.
Professor Jafar Ahmad
I think Goldman Sachs, which was one of the strategic advisers, thought it was easier selling the whole company on a bundled basis.
Burt Flickinger Iii
By 2012, BI will be strategic for business processes. Companies are not going to make decisions without it.
Betsy Burton
The truth is that neither British nor American imperialism was or is idealistic. It has always been driven by economic or strategic interests.
Charley Reese
I have never allowed anti-Russian rhetoric in Ukrainian policy toward such a strategic partner like Russia. This is the first point. I never went against the interests of the Ukrainian state and the Ukrainian people.
Viktor Yanukovych
The biggest criticism against Disney is that it hasn't used strategic acquisitions to leverage franchises.
Jeffrey Logsdon
It's a turning point in our business. What it suggests is that a board will trust HSBC with a large, complicated strategic transaction.
John Studzinski
The French will want new rules that are broad enough to allow them to assert control over a wide range of firms in sectors defined as strategic, but narrow enough to win European approval and to assure investors from overseas of real influence over companies in which they take a stake.
Christopher Mesnooh
Our media strategy was twofold: target both the college & minor league baseball fan through strategic baseball partnerships with Rawlings, Easton etc; as well, we invested significantly behind online media to target the baseball gamer and baseball fan.
Brian Coleman
The closings are important, but what is more important is the strategic direction they are going to take going forward, ... How are they going to improve profitability at existing stores?
Wayne Hood
The more fundamental strategic review -- in particular as to whether any businesses get sold or not -- probably will happen, but not in the very short term.
Peter Cartwright
We are excited that Tom is joining our senior management team. He is a seasoned CFO who brings decades of experience and knowledge in strategic financial leadership. I am confident Tom's background will enable him to guide Tennant on the course to achieving its stated financial and strategic objectives.
Chris Killingstad
It's a strategic relationship. I haven't talked with Max yet, but it's a useful alliance that we still want to do.
William Cox
Companies historically have supplemented their administrative HR applications (personnel, payroll and benefits) with niche talent management applications. They want fewer, more-integrated solutions to support more-strategic human capital management.
Jim Holincheck
Our efforts to improve our business are well under way, and we are making considerable progress on our strategic initiatives.
John W. Rowe
Review various strategic and financial options to enhance long-term shareholder value.

Christopher B. Galvin
The strategic OEM relationship between Nortel and Witness Systems blends leading contact center communications technologies with advanced contact recording and quality monitoring products to create an integrated solution delivering world-class performance optimization capabilities.
Blair Pleasant
It's very important to maintain our course. We have a strategic plan we've been going by for eight years. We want to continue that plan into the future. We see no reason to change our plan. Cindy has been trained in the park district procedures. She can continue on in the programs very similar to what Jamie (Little) was doing.
Richard Carpenter
This was a strategic opportunity that was too good to miss. Cisco was very natural fit for us. I don't think there's an RFID company in the world that would have passed on this opportunity.
Kevin Ashton
The agreement with Samsung will help align technologies and validate requirements for future wireless offerings, ... We are evaluating multiple options for 2.5GHz applications and fostering strategic relationships with ecosystem partners who are vital to progress on next-generation wireless broadband access and infrastructure.
Barry West
We've been approached by half a dozen potential sponsors, including financial companies and strategic partners. It's one of the options we have, including restructuring the company ourselves.
Kozo Hiramatsu
Niger is not an isolated island of desperation. It lies within a sea of problems across Africa -- particularly the 'forgotten emergencies' in poor countries or regions with little strategic or material appeal.
Bishop Desmond Tutu
It goes against what our comprehensive plan promotes. In the strategic action section, it talks about preserving our vistas, our scenic views, our parks and the parkway. Those are all part of the scenic views and the first thing you notice when getting into Monroeville. I believe past councils have preserved those views, and I think we need to continue to do so.
Councilman Dave Kucherer
I would like to sincerely thank FASANOC for organizing workshops on strategic planning and sponsorship.
Tevita Mau
Moving Alexandra to the franchise growth and performance team was a strategic move for Choice Hotels. By adding Alexandra, with her brand strategy background, to my team, we will be able to further build brand equity through strategic growth and additional focus on property level performance.
David Pepper
The Walkman has long been a symbolic and strategic product for Sony, but it has now turned into just one item that should be produced overseas due to labor costs.
Masayuki Hoshina
The release of strategic reserves contains a very large component of unneeded crude oil and does little to directly impact on the actual supply gap of U.S. oil products.
Barclays Capital
As previously announced, we have been evaluating long-term strategic alternatives with regard to all of Pulte's international operations.
Roger Cregg
Alex brings a multifaceted, international background in transportation, engineering, fleet operations and a sharp financial acumen to First Fleet. He will have a positive impact on all aspects of our business, providing valuable information and strategic counsel to our management and sales teams.
John Flynn
Under a Kerry administration we'd likely have a much more interventionist SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve) policy.
Jamal Qureshi
This strategic move will further strengthen our position as a safety and systems supplier to the automotive industry and will give us a real push forward in automotive electronics.
Manfred Wennemer
One reason we are here is because we hope the strategic relationship will continue to grow.
Lee Whitney
It's something the fund is going to get more aggressive about getting into than in the past. But this is something you need to do your due diligence on and take a very strategic approach to.
David Adams
With his customer-centric focus and unique balance of strategic insight, operational expertise, and technology and financial knowledge, Michael is a strong asset to Cisco's board.
John Morgridge
We have no strategic need to be bigger -- none at all. So there is no reason to engage in major M&A activity.
Tom Mckillop
It is no surprise that the Postal Service is seeking innovative approaches to dealing with these problems, as evidenced by its possible strategic alliance with Federal Express.
John Mchugh
Successive American administrations have declared peace in the Middle East is an American strategic interest, and one assumes that for an American strategic interest, Americans pay.
Chemi Shalev
This sends the signal that bilateral relations and other strategic interests will trump nonproliferation. And that will reduce the perceived penalties associated with going nuclear.
Robert Einhorn
I have to deal with speculation all the time. But 10 years from now, I see a conference with 12-to-14 basketball-playing schools and at least 12 football-playing schools. We do have a strategic plan, and we'll follow it.
Dennis Thomas
As most of you know, Sony Music Entertainment is implementing a series of strategic, structural changes that are necessary to position the company for future growth.
Andrew Lack
Walter's energy-related experience in both finance and strategic planning will be very beneficial to Magellan Midstream Holdings.
Don Wellendorf
A strategic shift to value-added products and the past sweeping restructuring efforts have helped improve the profit-generating capacity at Japanese firms, allowing them to easily absorb such negative factors as rises in crude oil prices and increases in personnel cost.
Osamu Katano
Congress is continuing its strong support for cutting-edge defense programs, which benefit the United States and Israel and strengthen their strategic partnership.
Josh Block
Since 2002, almost every strategic decision concerning AOL has been wrong. Time Warner failed to nurture or invest in AOL.
Bruce Wasserstein
The transaction reflects our disciplined strategy of investing capital in core businesses where we can leverage scale and expertise for competitive advantage. In addition to being a great strategic fit, the deal is compelling financially.
Jamie Dimon
It's just part of the momentum that we are experiencing in this state with the rise of small businesses in general and we believe it's directly attributable to our entrepreneurial focus. Georgia takes a strategic approach to engaging women-owned, minority-owned businesses from having programs that are tailored to help them excel.
Gilda Watters
There are many, many people involved in strategic planning, decision making, getting approvals.
Paul Gaffney
Intel's financial position and status as the semiconductor bellwether may be in jeopardy if it fails to find strategic opportunities in other faster growing markets such as communications and consumer electronics.
Apjit Walia
The strategic adversary is fascism... the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us.
Michel Foucault
The U.S. gave everything India wanted and got little in return. They framed the deal as necessary to cement a strategic partnership with India, and then this partner turns around and sides with Iran. That's not very strategic.
George Perkovich
We're designing for North America, but we have some strategic interest outside. If it's deployed internationally, it will have to be in licensed bands. A lot of developing countries would be easier for 'greenfield' development.
Chris Whiteley
What we really want to be able to do now, is to have government and the aviation industry working together right now to find that strategic solution, knowing that there is gridlock and the potential of increased accidents if we don't do something to address the problem today.
Norman Mineta
If Iraq has chemical weapons -- and they do -- that's a worry in the battlefield. That's a tactical problem. But it's not a strategic weapon. It's not a weapon that, in and of itself, changes the balance of power in the region.
Michael Gordon
Over the past 12 month we have made a series of strategic decisions that have affected short term revenue, but will yield and are already yielding a more profitable portfolio.
Lou Gerstner
We are excited about the opportunities for our businesses, our employees and our management team to serve at the forefront of long term strategic vision for our Company. Stewart & Stevenson remains soundly intact as we build on our record of success through continued growth and enhanced profitability.
John Simmons
Our planned investment is the strategic answer to this risk. We wish in this way to ensure the independence of the Volkswagen Group.
Wendelin Wiedeking
The fact that the company is privately held is a strategic advantage. We've put short-term considerations in their place, and focused instead on the long term. We're not focused on quarter to quarter.
Charles Mcleish
Several strategic investments in consulting firms.
Cisco Systems
I am proud to have played a senior leadership role in creating key strategic and commercial relationships, in overseeing the company's financial growth and in building the infrastructure to support the company's burgeoning activities.
David Courtney
It's very difficult right now with the pool of superintendents at a minimum. And it's very important to continue on with the strategic plan. To have someone in-house who has been walking through the programs and processes of the district is preferred.
Rita Peters
New home sales activity continued to point to strong consumer demand as our new orders increased 24 percent year-over-year. As the industry continues to benefit from favorable market conditions, we continue to strengthen our position in strategic markets through organic and acquisitive growth.
Stuart Miller
Certainly, there is a strategic element to it. On the other hand, the purpose of the clergy is to help navigate difficult moral terrain, and abortion constitutes difficult moral terrain for a good number of women.
Frances Kissling
We are clearly making a strategic investment in the search space. We believe this is going to be a growing need.
Chris Weitz
The new Duke Energy will participate in the continued consolidation of the electric and gas industry, and David has the experience and strategic skills to be a key member of our leadership team.
Jim Rogers
The banking sector plays a key role in national economic development. We will make more efforts to attract strategic investors, improve management systems and enhance the risk management of banks.
Cheng Siwei
Cooper Automotive is an excellent strategic fit with Federal-Mogul. The addition of this premier manufacturer with a talented management team further strengthens Federal-Mogul's leadership position in the automotive industry.
Dick Snell
The ruins were still there and it was still a strategic point. It had a ferry crossing and was adjacent to the English Neighborhood [Edgewater, Fort Lee, Leonia and Englewood] as well as Closter, Tenafly, and Teaneck.
Todd W. Braisted
We get good value out of software because we do due diligence first, but services tend to be significantly more expensive than we expect. Integration of applications is a significant strategic direction that is inhibited by cost.
Larry Reed
He had the vision to help create a strategic plan more than a decade ago which focused on improving the health of the people we serve. This mission continues to guide our overall strategy yet today.
Larry Glasscock
With profit growth stagnating, the government should look for a better future for the company, such as seeking international strategic investors.
Simon Chao
The combined company will leverage both companies' considerable strengths in exploration and exploitation and create new opportunities for strategic expansion.
John Brock
The outsourcing model has changed pretty profoundly over the last three years. Outsourcing today is now viewed in a far more strategic light.
Andrew Gibson
We believe that our move into this state of the art trading facility will allow us to further our strategic plan of becoming a scale player within the market making and execution services industry.
Marty Cunningham
For the 15 member states, it's strategic objective Number One. For candidate countries, it's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Guenter Verheugen
But in the same breath they'll talk about the United States. They still consider us a strategic threat.
James Casey
Outsourcing isn't just strategic and tactical. Once you make a move, the invisible hand gets to work.
Lars Gustavsson
Health and productivity management, coupled with clinical integration, creates a real opportunity to positively impact the health of the individual and allows employers to become more strategic about how they manage employee health - and how they make decisions for purchasing health benefits.
Tim Blevins
This is another important step on our strategic roadmap as it will allow users to share information beyond the PC.
Carl Yankowski
This is a strong validation of the DSL industry. It was clear to us as we were discussing with TI the opportunity for a strategic alliance that [we both] share the vision this will be a huge market.
Gary Seamans
It will take four months to complete the strategic planning. Construction should start in 2007 and will take two to three years.
Laura Hunter
He wasn't one to write a check and forget about it. He always challenged me with long-term strategic planning, what would make an Aquinas education excellent.
Mike Daley
We hope to be the most strategic in utilizing funds to either form partnerships and leverage existing ongoing activities, or by identifying gaps and placing our money there.
Bob Watson
The strategic challenge the Bush administration faced was to convince the rest of the world that Iran is more dangerous than the United States.
George Perkovich
The strategic direction is good, but I need to see continued moves to back up the choices management has made. The question is what they will do with semiconductors and what kind of acquisitions they will pursue for medical.
Pieter Wind
ARC International continues to benefit from the industry's increasing adoption of configurability and our leadership position within this market. The environment for intellectual property licensing is improving, and despite the revenue shortfall, ARC continues to make good progress towards achieving its strategic goals.
Carl Schlachte
Identifying and developing strategic relationships with overseas suppliers to be able to produce off-shore are in progress.
George Gould
This is a very important strategic deal for Microsoft to move beyond the PC.
Brian Goodstadt
If I'm an IT person, I'm already overwhelmed. How do I manage this extra work? With a strategic partner.
Jeffrey Johnson
At Red Hat, we believe that open source technology can change the world, and is still in its infancy. It's a guiding principle that is embodied in everything we do. Beyond a founding corporate sponsorship, we've put engineering and other strategic resources behind the One Laptop per Child initiative to add our expertise, global reach and focus to the project.
Matthew Szulik
A stable democratic government in Afghanistan is the larger strategic objective. The intention is to ensure that Afghanistan does not become in any way a haven supporting radicalism and terrorism, as it had in the Taliban time. Helping Afghanistan to consolidate would be in India's interest.
C. Uday Bhaskar
This is really quite strategic to everything we're doing.
Chris Klein
Volkswagen has made a strategic decision to expand in the area of heavy commercial vehicles, in line with our long-term strategy.
Ferdinand Piech
Our vision is to make our products indispensable to all physicians, from independent practitioners to the largest physician practice groups, academic medical centers and specialty groups, and today we are taking two significant strategic steps towards that goal.
Glen Tullman
This would be a very good strategic fit -- largely because each is a little shaky alone.
Peter Misek
Management offered a strategic update with no real surprises.
Lawrence Miller
There are some similar aspects to all these communities. There is a robust economy in a couple of key areas -- tourism is a key driver as well as professional services. We view this as yet another external validation of the strength of the Florida economy and, therefore, the strength of our strategic plan to develop the economy.
Lisa Nason
Moving forward, our strategic objective is to continue to increase net asset value and cash flow per share. We are pursuing a four-point plan: growth from existing core operations; expanding our capacity for the future, developing attracting and retaining the best people in the industry, and driving new opportunities from exploration and acquisition.
Tye Burt
Acquisitions and strategic relationships are two different things. We have not signed any deal with Jet.
Alok Sharma
We're thrilled to have been awarded the business for this leading AAA club. This is a very strategic win for us as AAA fits squarely into the criteria we set out for new business opportunities. Not only does the relationship give us the opportunity to help create innovative work that will help expand a great brand, but the chance to work with a smart, forward thinking and passionate client.
Jamie King
We made a strategic decision to redefine our investment banking business in the autumn, because continuing to invest in parts of the business no longer made commercial sense for us.
Martin Taylor
We'll continue to evaluate several ways to improve shareholder value. We don't need a strategic partner, though.
Glenn Christenson
Budapest is right in line with our international strategy, and we have won it at a fair price, reflecting the true value to BAA of the assets involved, rather than any wider strategic benefits.
Mike Clasper
Juniper remains at the intersection of opportunity, where the increasing and strategic importance of today's network demands the integrated best-in-class solutions that the company was built to deliver.
Scott Kriens
We have made suitable tactical and strategic realignments and they (the Naval fleet) are in a very high combat state.
Sushil Kumar
We think the right way to provide relief is through tapping the strategic petroleum reserves.
Rebecca Rausch
You may have very strategic knowledge of what's going on. You may have good knowledge of budget or budgeting process. It doesn't mean when someone structures the transactions, you get there and roll the sleeves and sharpen the pencil, do the pricing and negotiate the derivatives and sales. That is what the issues seem to be, and nobody expects the CEO to do that.
Bruce Hiler
