Strategic plans of Van Huesen Comapany:

our business model functioned as intended, as our commitment to marketing strong global brands across multiple channels of distribution allowed us to continue on our growth track, despite a slowdown in some segments of our business. We exceeded our financial projections in each quarter. For the year, earnings per share were up 22%over 2006, to $3.21. Annual revenues increased 16% from the previous year's total, to more than $2.4billion, and operating income* grew 18%to $312million.
In addition to achieving these financial results, we continued to take advantage of strategic investment opportunities to strengthen and position ourselves for the future. During the year, we:

1. integrated the newly acquired Superba neckwear business into our organization, while significantly exceeding our earnings projection for this business;
2. launched IZODwomen's sportswear, a business we believe could grow to $200million in sales within five years and serve as the platform for the development of our in-house expertise in the women's wholesale sportswear arena;
3. assembled a complete Timberlandmen's sportswear organization based on the licensing agreement we signed last year, positioning us to deliver the new product line to key retail accounts for Fall 2008and commence a business that we believe could generate $150million in wholesale sales by 2013; and
4. opened five full-priced Calvin Kleinspecialty retail stores in some of the most prestigious malls across the country, an important step that will provide us with a showcase for the full breadth of the Calvin Kleinbetter product, serving as a marketing halo for the brand, as well as giving us direct access to the U.S. consumer.

Evaluate how can this strategic plan be applied to any local in the Phillipines.

- here in our country most of the companies likes malls usually done by focusing how would they get their profit without any lossing their gross...in a simple ways they are applying it by just giving some discounts to their customers.
