		Some reasons that Sara Lee is a good choice is that it has grown to an extent where only 10% of its operating costs come from food, 19% from beverages, 57% from intimate apparel, and 14% from household products.
		Sara Lee is facing the problem of losing its control as a supplier with Kmart filing for protection under Chapter 11.
		Like Sara Lee has cut down its work force, Procter and Gamble "has already cut its work force to 106,000 from 110,000 last spring and plans to cut a total of 17,400 jobs by 2004." This study of back-office operations is another way that might make Procter and Gamble a stronger rival for Sara Lee.
