2 Replace the position of creative director for each of the firm's fashion brands with amore collective creative ecosystem
Peck was betting that market intelligence fueled by Big Data could outperform acreative director at predicting the future fashion tastes of consumers Could data-miningreplace the artistic vision of a creative director? Was this the right approach to fashiondevelopment for all three of Gap’s brands? Selling Gap’s products on Amazon could open
up a whole new data stream to Peck and his managers, providing insight into theshopping habits of existing customers when they weren’t shopping on the company’s owndigital platforms or in their stores, and providing access to new customers not currentlyattracted by the company’s distribution efforts Should he allow Amazon to sell hisbrands?
3 Address consumers' shift to omnichannel shopping, focusing on dissolving the wallbetween the physical and digital channels
3 Deliver a better customer experience
Trang 4B KEY ISSUES TO TACKLE
I List of issues
1 Slow growth in core markets
Gap Inc competed in the $3 trillion global apparel industry, which accounted for 2%
of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) The U.S and Canadian markets accountedfor over $340 billion and were expected to grow annually by 2% through 2025 Thesetwo markets accounted for 84% of Gap’s sales
Millennials were spending less on apparel Speaking to investors at a retailconference, Peck claimed that “there are no compelling [fashion] trends driving thebusiness” and lamented that there had been a change in consumers’ buying habits suchthat there was a lack of need to replenish their closets
4 Rise of Fast Fashion
New competitors, such as H&M and Zara, compressed supply chains, delivering priced looks knocked off from luxury fashion runways within weeks of their unveilings.With an average product cycle time of 10 months, Gap lagged competitors such as Zarawhich could deliver products to stores within four weeks due to their consumer-responsive and decentralized buying process, which allowed individual stores to ordersmall batches of product, wait to see how consumers responded to it, and then airliftadditional products to backfill the store’s inventory within days The speed and pace ofthe fashion cycle was dizzying, with new styles appearing in stores on a weekly basis in aconstantly renewing fashion cycle
Trang 5low-5 Heavy and frequent discounting
Clothing was increasingly commoditized as consumers viewed the lower-quality fastfashion offerings as disposable, yielding a need for low prices and heavy discounting.Retail analysts were concerned about an overabundance of price promotion at Gap, where40% discounts were common
6 Gap’s size and ubiquity were transforming from asset to liability
Consumers looking to forge a unique identity were moving away from Gap’s classicofferings
II Some Solutions:
1. Replace creative directors with Big Data obtained from Google Analytics, GoogleTrends, social media, the company's own sales and customer databases to inform thenext season's assortment
2. Develop an augmented reality app
- Use data-driven decision making: personalize shopping experiences based onbrowsing and purchase history
- Develop email programs to provide relevant, personalized messages to consumers
3. Messaging based on consumer's searching, or deliver another landing page based onbrowsing history or IP address
4. Understand why consumers were not buying as much from Gap's physical stores
develop Gap's digital and mobile e-commerce platforms to drive customerengagement
Trang 6- Using a collaborative model, decentralized, data - driven
- Avoid conflicts in synchronization between employees and leaders
- Control through hard data saves time, bộ and professionalism
- The big problem is whether Big Data can replace the director' s artistic vision
2 Option 2: Big Data and analysis of marketing
- Customer tastes are difficult to predict because consumers are notoriously poor
to predict their future behaviors
- Consumer interests are built rather than revealed, subject to marketermanipulation, unstable over time
- The taste of each person is not the same

Trang 9D RECOMMENDATIONS
I Our recommendations
1 Our recommendation solution
Replace creative directors with Big Data obtained from Google Analytics, GoogleTrends, social media, the company's own sales and customer databases to inform the nextseason's assortment
2 Our recommendation solves the issues
Gap' s leadership needs to appreciate that customer' s fashion requirements are built insocial ways by collective behavior and taste in tastes and interests As a result, designers
do not consider the impact of social effects on consumers' tastes that have weakened thegoal of changing gap products in conformity with the changing market demand.Another notable issue involves the need for the company' s essential need for largedata implementation to promote product innovation Market - based market researchstrategies have previously backfired Accordingly, the company can apply new analyticalmethods to assess customer behavior on the garment market The use of large data toassess the trend in garment and customer change is important because it affects thesuccess of gap in its operations Therefore, we believe that peck' s decision to eliminatethe creative director while using large data analysis to promote the development of thecreative costume to match the customer' s interests in different segments is appropriate

2 Revenue prediction
- Fiscal 2015 results were impacted by a series of strategic actions to position Gapbrand for improved business performance in the future, including rightsizing theGap brand store fleet primarily in North America, streamlining the brand'sheadquarter workforce, and developing a clear, on-brand product aestheticframework to strengthen the Gap brand to compete more successfully on theglobal stage During fiscal 2015, the Company completed the closure of about 150Gap global specialty stores related to the strategic actions During fiscal 2015, theCompany incurred $132 million of charges in connection with the strategicactions, primarily consisting of impairment of store assets related tounderperforming stores, lease termination fees and lease losses, employee relatedexpenses, and impairment of inventory that did not meet brand standards.Financial results for fiscal 2016 are as follows:

- So, in order to grow financial resources, management should apply some of thebusiness strategies in certain countries, such as china, where there is a hugepopulation to promote business operations The gap in adaptation to the marketmodel changes it reduces the ability to sell and make revenue decrease, becausethe creative managers in the company have not accounted for the dynamic aspects
of the modern market, which are not developed by the consumer - appropriatebrand
