It has been accepted for inclusion in Senior Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Harris 1 Thesis Summary A new generational wave has begun to enter the workforce. The oldest members of Generation Z, those approximately at the age of 25 and below, have recently begun their careers. In the past few years, some changes have been made to work environments, like constructing gyms and daycares at workplaces, expanding the options for work at home programs, and firms hosting social events to attract top, young talent. Some of these actions were to appease Generation Y (Millennials), but some, whether the intent was known or not, will be very pleasing and beneficial to Generation Z. However, Generation Y and Z have some key differences which can create new challenges for a firm’ managers and human resource departments. For example, Generation Z desires to complete their work in the correct way to please their managers, so exceptional training would be strongly recommended for Generation Z to be confident in their work.

  • Generation Alpha: Marketing Or Science?1
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository of the Academy's Library Acta Technologica Dubnicae volume 7, 2017, issue 1 DOI: 10.1515/atd-2017-0007 Generation Alpha: Marketing or Science?1 Ádám Nagy – Attila Kölcsey Received: September 17, 2016; received in revised form: March 8, 2017; accepted: March 9, 2017 Abstract: Introduction: The transition from the limited information environment to the extended information world has fundamentally transformed the communication and information-gathering processes. The new learning spheres (non-formal and informal learning, i.e. lifelong learning) require rethinking learning strategies. Purpose: The generation logic and knowledge of different generations can help making the learning process more effective and efficient. It also helps, if we know which generation exists and which one is a “fictious generation”. According to theory of Mannheim and the model of Prensky, we can describe Generation X, Y and Z, but now the name of the next generation is being established. Methods: With the help of traditional desk research, such as literature search, data mining and web search, this article covers the origin of Generation Alpha (Alfa), the possible characteristics attributed to this age group, and tries to discern if this concept is meaningful in terms of the generation paradigm. Conclusions: Overall, it is apparent that while the existence of X, Y, and Z generations is demonstrable, the naming and characterizing the Alfa generation is important for marketing purposes, scientifically there is no evidence for “Generation Alpha”. Key words: generations, GenAlfa, Alpha generation. Ádám Nagy, Pallasz Athéné University, Kecskemét, Hungary; J.

    Prologue I have one of the best jobs in the world. I’m a social researcher, which basically means I study human behaviour. This involves observing different trends and their impact on how people behave, work, live, shop and communicate. The types of trends I focus on are often: technology trends – like the rise of artificial intelligence and robotics. Demographic shifts – like an ageing and more culturally diverse population. And one of my favourites, social trends – like understanding the mix of generations in our society. The year 2020 will go down in history as one of massive change, because COVID-19 accelerated and highlighted many of these trends. But even prior to 2020, I began to notice an increase in the interest the world was taking in the next generation of children. To many people, they are a bit of a mystery. As a result, I regularly get to speak to groups of parents wanting to find out more about the world shaping their children, educators, and business leaders wanting to better understand them, and some 1 Generation Alpha_368_Press Proofs_3.indd 1 22/3/21 12:04 pm GENERATION ALPHA of the leading technology platforms about what they need to know in order to remain relevant. What I have noticed is that people are starting to sit up and take note that a new generation is not only coming, but they are already here. This is precisely why I decided to write this book, along with Ashley Fell, the Director of Advisory at my research and communications company McCrindle. Between us, we have been in social research for almost three decades.

    InsideO The Network Generation Sleep&Eat Virtual 2020 Out The Network Generation InsideOut “Networking is not just about connecting people. It’s about connecting people with people, people with ideas, and people with opportunities. Our approach to this virtual networking lounge focuses on an experiential journey as a key factor to the success of this space typology. Weaving a delicate yet exciting networking experience for future generations, be it for business or pleasure, will create a balance of opportunity.” Sleep&Eat Virtual 2020 2 3 Generation Types InsideOut Generation X - 1965 to 1980 Generation Y - 1981 to 1995 Generation Z - 1996 to 2010 A global survey covering the three generations X, Y & Z was undertaken to further our understanding of what networking means to each generation. Here we highlight some of the likley drivers defining the character of these generation types. This generational research informed the underlying approach and concept for our Sleep & Eat Virtual Networking Lounge. Gene erations 4 5 Generation X InsideOut 1965 to 1980 Generation X’ers are the demographic between the boomers and the millennial’s, having been born between 1965 and 1980, a period during the post war reconstruction of Europe. Their life has not been easy. Following a period of upheaval, finding a job was a great challenge. To work and produce was their philosophy in life, leaving little room for idealism. Individualism and ambition, an addiction to work, or being a workaholic, were the values with which they grew up. Members of Generation X are known to be more resistant towards current trends, however, they support altruistic values of companies.

  • Gen Z in the Workforce: Nuance and Success
    GEN Z IN THE WORKFORCE: NUANCE AND SUCCESS Zachary N. Clark Dr. Kathleen Howley Director of Student Activities & Assessment Deputy Vice Chancellor for Academic & Student Affairs Indiana University of Pennsylvania Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Overview In this session, you will: Acquire an overview of the different generations of Americans currently serving in the workforce, including Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. Explore key differences and similarities in these generations across core belief structures, including understandings of society, education, leadership, technology, and more. Identify recommendations and best practices, reinforced with research, to help find success in the multigenerational workplace, including in the first post-educational work experience. Evaluate through deep reflection how participants define student success, while also collaborating with peers to identify ‘one piece of advice’ for trustees and presidents to ensure worthwhile experiences at our universities and to support post-graduation success. Things to Keep in Mind Generational studies are not exact, and have clear limitations. These pieces of information highlight national trends, as shown in sociological and educational research. Not every member of a particular generation of college student will be a cookie-cutter image to their peers. While engaging in discussion today, keep statements broad enough so as to respect the privacy and guard the identities of individuals (students, faculty, staff, administrators,

  • Expedia Goes All-In on AWS
    Expedia Goes All-In on AWS businesswire.com/news/home/20171129005490/en/Expedia-All-In-AWS November 29, 2017 SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ: AMZN), announced that Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE), a global online travel company, has gone all-in on AWS and is standardizing on AWS machine learning technologies to enhance travelers’ booking experiences across its brands, including Expedia.com, Hotels.com, Expedia Affiliate Network (EAN), HomeAway, Egencia, and others. As part of a corporate-wide initiative to focus its engineering teams on innovation rather than hardware procurement and datacenter management, Expedia continues to move its 20 years’ worth of core-business workloads, digital properties, mobile applications, and legacy platforms largely from owned datacenters to AWS and will migrate several databases from Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle to Amazon Aurora as part of that process. The travel industry giant chose AWS for its highly scalable infrastructure, unmatched breadth of cloud services, and proven operational expertise. “The travel industry understands that it needs to continually transform consumer experiences to remain competitive and keep their customers engaged” Tweet this In 2013, Expedia started leveraging AWS to speed up various large-scale projects, a move that set the stage for its future marketing agreements and, eventually, acquisitions. Expedia could not have integrated and completed one of its first acquisitions in just 91 working days without leveraging AWS for capacity and traffic management. In the last couple of years, Expedia accelerated its cloud migration efforts to move the vast majority of its workloads to AWS.
