Hi!  I'm preparing for a job interview and am looking for articles and
information on the Gap Inc. (including Gap, Old Navy, Banana
Republic).  Ideally, I'd like to find lengthy articles on current
issues the organization is facing, particularly the Direct group
(which manages the online channel.)

There was a great article on the new CEO in the recent issue of
Fortune magazine that covered the Fortune 500.  I'm looking for things
along these lines.  More than articles covering a specific management
shift or quarterly results, but in-depth analysis of their current
business practices, etc.

Business school cases could also be very relevant.  Information on the
new head of Gap Direct, Toby Lenk would be fantastic.

I'd like articles to be within the last year.

Thanks much!

Figuringitout --

Do you need a web link to articles themselves or will references to
items that you might find in a library work as well?  More and more
researchers are finding copyrighted material available -- but via a
magazine's own archives or proprietary (Lexis/Nexis, Infotrac,
Proquest) database.  Many libraries have access to these databases.

Best regards,

I need the links to the articles or the actual text.  I'm not going to
have the time or easy access to track down the publications
themselves.  Thanks!
