Ralph Lauren is stepping down as CEO of the fashion and home decor empire that he founded nearly 50 years ago. The New York-based company announced that Stefan Larsson, who has been the global president of Gap's low-price Old Navy chain for three years, will succeed him. The change will be effective in November, and Mr Larsson will report to Mr Lauren, who will continue to drive the company's vision and strategy as executive chairman and chief creative officer. As global president of Old Navy for three years, Mr Larsson has remade the business to be a bright spot in Gap's portfolio. Prior to his tenure at Old Navy, Mr Larsson was part of an executive team at Swedish cheap chic fashion chain H&M for 15 years that increased annual revenue from $3bn to $17bn. During that time, H&M's operations grew to 44 countries from 12. "My job is to think always about the future of our company and how to move it forward," Ralph Lauren said in a statement. "Stefan Larsson is exceptionally talented, and he will bring our company a fresh and exciting global perspective." Ralph Lauren also announced that Jackwyn Nemerov, president and chief operating officer, will retire in November, at which time she will become an adviser to the company. The news comes as Ralph Lauren, which generated sales of $7.5bn in the latest fiscal year March 28, has been expanding its luxury business while beefing up its online presence. In the past two years, the company has added three new brands - Polo for Women, Polo Sport and Denim and Supply. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/11900415/Ralph-Lauren-to-step-down-as-CEO-of-fashion-empire-he-founded.html |

For more than a decade, boxes have helped Google dominate search - both the rectangle on its home page and the web browser address bars that send users to its results.But smartphones now account for more internet use than PCs, and that changes things. "When you have a 5in-diagonally-across screen - it's not designed to type," acknowledges Google's search chief Amit Singhal. "So, on mobile you have to fundamentally give users new ways to interact." To address the problem, Mr Singhal's team has developed Now on Tap. The facility - which is being released as part of the latest Android mobile operating system - lets users get related information about whatever is on their handset's screen with a single button press. As an example, Mr Singhal describes a text chat with his wife, in which he suggests a restaurant. He explains his spouse could bring up driving directions and the place's opening hours simply by holding down the home button when the restaurant's name was displayed. The feature works with any app. And if someone wants to know something specific, they can trigger a contextual voice search by saying: "OK Google". One possibility would be asking: "Who's the lead singer?" when a song's name is displayed in Spotify."It's search designed for the mobile world," says Mr Singhal. "You don't have to switch windows to type information into one window and then go to another." Privacy Like many of Google's services, there's a trade-off involved. Those using the service will end up disclosing ever increasing amounts of information about their interests and habits. That helps Google target its ads, but also opens it up to criticism. "They're gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetise it," said Apple's chief executive Tim Cook earlier this year. "We think that's wrong… and we think some day, customers will see this for what it is."Apple has made much of the fact it anonymises information gathered about users, meaning, for example, it sends location-specific alerts without recording their travel histories alongside their account IDs on its servers. Mr Singhal retorts that Google gives users "full control" over the data it has access to, but adds that he believes people appreciate the benefits that sharing their data makes possible. "If Google doesn't know where my office is or what time my next meeting is, it can't [automatically] tell me there is traffic - please leave now," he says. "We believe with opt-in and proper consent and control over your data, Google can provide you so much more value." Virtual helpers Resting on its laurels wasn't an option. US-based users spend more than six times more hours using apps rather than mobile browsers - often to search for goods - according to a recent study by Comscore. Now on Tap prevents Google being shut out of such activities when the apps aren't its own. But the firm faces an additional threat - consumers are increasingly being encouraged to use rivals' virtual assistants: ◾Apple pioneered the way with Siri, and is about to extend the service to TVs ◾Microsoft has brought Cortana to Windows 10 and is expanding it to Android and iOS ◾Facebook is testing M on its Messenger app ◾Amazon is offering Alexa to third-party gadgets and apps It may seem curious that Google's competitors are giving their tools personalities, while its own voice-search results seem soulless in comparison. But Mr Singhal suggests such computer-coded characters aren't yet ready for prime time."One of the challenges with computer-based personalities is that human-based interactions are far more nuanced than can be encoded in an algorithm today," he says."A funny character or a sarcastic character may not be the right character all the time."Sitting across here from you, I can read your emotions. Computers don't do that."I deeply believe that we have to be very sensitive to human interaction, so we won't do this lightly."And I think that technology will take a long time to develop." |
