Do we need The Gap?

Article Abstract:

US clothing retailer The Gap now has 58 outlets in the UK, and has been extremely successful with its very careful and customer-oriented approach. Its clothes are always very attractively displayed, and its employees are trained extensively in customer relations. This approach has particularly appealed to the over 30s, who find high fashion stores too intimidating. However, it is now being copied by a number of retailers, and no longer stands out as it did when it first arrived in the UK in 1987.

Secrets of success in a woman's world

Article Abstract:

This is often because these jobs are seen as having better career prospects than those traditionally done by men. Some men have encountered hostility when choosing employment where women dominate, while others have been welcomed and have found themselves working in new ways.
