Thompson MBA, University of Phoenix, 2008 BS, Wingate University, 1998 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Management Walden University June, 2017 Abstract One of the demographic changes in the workplace is the presence of multiple generations working together. Some managers may find leading a multigenerational workforce a challenge, because the generational cohorts may have different work values and approaches to work. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how generational characteristics manifest in the workplace, how managers perceive a multigenerational workforce, and whether macro-level descriptions of generations creates stereotypes or recognizable indicators of behavior in the workplace. Mannheim’s theory of generations and diversity management theory provided the conceptual framework for the study. Data were collected through interviews and a focus group discussion from 40 participants from the public sector. The participants consisted of members from the veterans, baby boomers, Gen Xers, and millennial cohorts. Summative content analysis was used to analyze data with the use of NVivo software, and member checking was used to enhance the trustworthiness of interpretations. The key themes from the analysis indicated that, among these 40 participants, intergenerational conflicts in the workplace were attributed to generational descriptors of work values, communication styles, productivity, work-life balance, leadership styles, organizational change, and the future of the public sector. The findings may enhance managers’ understanding of generational perceptions and may help managers take steps to reduce intergenerational conflict in the workplace.

  • My Generation
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 01805 - 060347 90476 [email protected] “Hope I die before I get old…” The Who – My Generation Das Frontcover von My Generation, dem Debütalbum von The Who, steht für eine ganz Ära, genauso wie die Musik darauf. Auf dem Foto trägt John Entwistle lässig eine Jacke über der Schulter, die aus einem Union Jack gefertigt wurde. Heutzutage findet man dieses Symbol auf Kaffeetassen, Kissenbezügen, T-Shirts und diversen anderen Kleidungsstücken. Aber im Dezember 1965, als My Generation herauskam, weigerten sich die meisten Schneider auf der Savile Row, den Union Jack in eine Jacke umzunähen. “Sie dachten, sie kämen dafür ins Gefängnis”, erzählte Roger Daltrey. Die abweisende Attitüde von The Who und die dreiste Verwendung der Nationalflagge waren die beste Werbung für My Generation, die man sich vorstellen konnte. Das Album klingt, wie es aussieht: kurz angebunden, auf Konfrontation aus und voller jungendlichem Zorn und Energie. Da überrascht es kaum, dass der Entstehungsprozess von Konflikten durchzogen war. My Generation war das Ergebnis eines mentalen Armdrückens – zwischen mutigen, neuen Ideen und Popmusiktradition. Als die Platte endlich in die Läden kam, war der Union Jack der Band zerrissen und blutverschmiert – als hätte er zwei Weltkriege mitgemacht. Das Album wurde von Shel Talmy produziert und die Erstveröffentlichung in Großbritannien im Dezember 1965 lief über Brunswick Records. In den USA kam es im April 1966 mit dem Titel ‘The Who Sings My Generation’ heraus. Auf der britischen Version findet sich das legendäre, von Decca Records Fotograf David Wedgbury in den Surrey Docks im Südosten London gemachte Foto, auf dem die vier Musiker alle in die über ihnen befindliche Linse schauen – eine Pose, die auch Jahre später noch von vielen Bands kopiert wurde.

  • MUSIC 262: Art/Prog Rock [Brian Ward Demonstrates a Tune on Piano
    MUSIC 262: Art/Prog Rock [Brian Ward demonstrates a tune on piano] [Brian Ward]: So around this time in rock and roll we really start to see a lot of fragmentation going on, and that’s reflected in this course. The way we have this designed is so that we can go in different directions with the music, and that’s what the music did all sort of at the same time. One of the directions is what we now call art rock and also progressive rock. Now art rock and progressive rock are terms that are used loosely. A good way to describe it is art rock is rock and roll that is influenced by classical music while progressive rock is more influenced by jazz, so- but you have different elements in varying degrees of influence and in different ways. A good illustration of that is one of the first bands that I want to talk about is The Who. Now The Who were definitely a straight down the line rock and roll band, and they started like a lot of these other British bands: imitating the blues and rhythm and blues music from the United States, but The Who were very unique. They had probably the most four individualized members of any band of all time. All four members of the band, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon, were all very, very different people coming from different backgrounds, and that reflected in their music, and they used that to their advantage quite a bit. But with The Who I think rock star first becoming an art form in the sense that they had longer forms and they used many structures that eventually became mini-operas and they eventually made a rock opera called “Tommy.” Now when they started out they were more on the cutting edge of hard rock.

    DRAMATURGY GUIDE School of Rock: The Musical The National Theatre January 16-27, 2019 Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber Book by Julian Fellowes Lyrics by Glenn Slater Based on the Paramount Film Written by Mike White Featuring 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber and all the original songs from the movie Packet prepared by Dramaturg Linda Lombardi Sources: School of Rock: The Musical, The Washington Post ABOUT THE SHOW Based on the hit film, this hilarious new musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school to earn a few extra bucks. To live out his dream of winning the Battle of the Bands, he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. While teaching the students what it means to truly rock, something happens Dewey didn’t expect... they teach him what it means to care about something other than yourself. For almost 200 years, The National Theatre has occupied a prominent position on Pennsylvania Avenue – “America’s Main Street” – and played a central role in the cultural and civic life of Washington, DC. Located a stone’s throw from the White House and having the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site as it’s “front yard,” The National Theatre is a historic, cultural presence in our Nation’s Capital and the oldest continuously operating enterprise on Pennsylvania Avenue. The non-profit National Theatre Corporation oversees the historic theatre and serves the DC community through three free outreach programs, Saturday Morning at The National, Community Stage Connections, and the High School Ticket Program.

  • "The Who Sings My Generation" (Album)
    “The Who Sings My Generation”—The Who (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label The Who Founded in England in 1964, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon are, collectively, better known as The Who. As a group on the pop-rock landscape, it’s been said that The Who occupy a rebel ground somewhere between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, while, at the same time, proving to be innovative, iconoclastic and progressive all on their own. We can thank them for various now- standard rock affectations: the heightened level of decadence in rock (smashed guitars and exploding drum kits, among other now almost clichéd antics); making greater use of synthesizers in popular music; taking American R&B into a decidedly punk direction; and even formulating the idea of the once oxymoronic sounding “rock opera.” Almost all these elements are evident on The Who’s debut album, 1966’s “The Who Sings My Generation.” Though the band—back when they were known as The High Numbers—had a minor English hit in 1964 with the singles “I’m the Face”/”Zoot Suit,” it wouldn’t be until ’66 and the release of “My Generation” that the world got a true what’s what from The Who. “Generation,” steam- powered by its title tune and timeless lyric of “I hope I die before I get old,” “Generation” is a song cycle worthy of its inclusive name. Twelve tracks make up the album: “I Don’t Mind,” “The Good’s Gone,” “La-La-La Lies,” “Much Too Much,” “My Generation,” “The Kids Are Alright,” “Please, Please, Please,” “It’s Not True,” “The Ox,” “A Legal Matter” and “Instant Party.” Allmusic.com summarizes the album appropriately: An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone.

This is potentially a huge topic, so I have chosen to limit the field of the major music of investigation to the music being created, recorded and performed by the most significant British pop and initiatives in recent rock bands from this era. I make regular reference to a relatively small collection of songs that exemplify all the years. features under discussion. This is designed to help teachers and students overcome the challenges of having to source a large amount of reference material. This resource addresses four questions: Why was there such an explosion of musical creativity and development at this time? What were the key influences shaping the development of this music? What are the key musical features of this music? How might we use these musical ideas in classroom activities at KS3/4? Overall aim The overall aim of the resource is twofold. It aims to provide a series of activities that will give students composition frameworks, while at the same time learning about the style and the musical conventions of music from this era. Each section provides some brief background with relevant examples for active listening exercises. These are followed with suggestions for related classroom activities.

  • When Generations Collide
    When Generations Collide By Dennis Doverspike and Alison O’Malley I’m not tryin’ to cause a big sensation, I’m just talkin’ ‘bout My Generation (from The Who’s My Generation, written by Peter Townshend, copyright 1965 Fabulous Music) Acknowledgements of the existence of a “generation gap” (i.e. a difference in attitudes or values between generations) appear to be as old as oral history. Many Roman and Greek myths rely upon the concept of titanic struggles between parents and their children. In the United States during the 1960s, the concept of a generation gap was often used to explain a variety of intergenerational conflicts. So, the image of generations—as many as four possible generations—competing in the workplace in the 2000s is one that has attracted both popular and scientific interest. It has led to dramatic statements, which lead to accompanying vivid images of the generations colliding or clashing in a battle for dominance of the workplace. Dramatic imagery aside, the prevailing argument has been that managers in organizations, including human resource managers, must find ways to deal with this diversity of generational cultures. In theory, human resource managers and others can deal with this generational diversity by 1) understanding the differences between generations and then 2) crafting various strategies based upon the identified differences for responding to the needs and values of the different generations. Of course, this also means dealing with the conflicting demands of the generations. This article presents two competing theories regarding generational differences. The first theory, generational cultures, holds that historical events shape the unique culture of a generation.

  • The Millennial Generation: Common Experience Guiding Them Into
    2 Abstract The Millennial Generation, those born from 1980-2000, see the world from a different viewpoint. This distinctive cohort has structured their lives in a different manner than preceding generations. The introduction and influence of social, political, and technological changes over the past few decades have structured Millennials’ unique and sometimes unclear characteristics and behaviors. Dividing and defining people by their birth years can seem like a subjective generalization. However, Howe and Strauss (2000) argue that shared experiences during formative years within a cohort result in a distinctive generational bond resulting in common attitudes and behaviors. Millennials have been labeled as one of the most overprotected and enabled generations in history, and mentors are uncertain how to beneficially nurture this generation as they transition into adulthood (Lykins & Pace, 2013: Twenge et al.). Generations are shaped by the dynamic interplay of history and popular culture, which can form a lens for understanding a generation’s collective nature (Mannheim, 1928). To determine what the future holds for the Millennial Generation as they transition into adulthood, one should closely examine their formative experiences and construct a socio-psychological portrait (Ng, Schweitzer, & Lyons, 2010). By clarifying the process that formed their adulthood, we gain a clearer understanding of what it means to them to be an emerging adult in the Millennial generation. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the Millennial Generation’s perceptions of how their formative experiences have affected their transition into adulthood. It was my intention through this phenomenological study to view the Millennial Generation’s 3 common formative experiences through the lens of the Theory of Generations, Theory of the Emergent Adult, and the Gestalt Theory and link their unresolved familiarities to their current behaviors and mindset as they emerge into adulthood.

  • How Generation Z Influences Multi-Generational
    HOW GENERATION Z INFLUENCES MULTI-GENERATIONAL PROJECT TEAM DYNAMICS AND ENGAGEMENT by Karah Sprouse _______________________ Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Business Administration ______________________ Liberty University, School of Business May 2021 ii Abstract This research study sought to explore and provide deeper understanding of how Generation Z, the newest, youngest workforce generation, is influencing intergenerational project team dynamics and is best engaged toward successful performance. To provide insight to this inquiry and fill an existing gap in the academic and professional literature surrounding Generation Z, a qualitative, single-site case study research method and design was selected. Accordingly, the researcher conducted interviews containing semi-structured, open-ended questions based on the literature’s prevailing components of team dynamics and engagement with seven Generation Z project professionals and ten project professionals representing older generations who currently serve on teams with Generation Z members at a global technology organization located in the southeastern United States. Together these 17 project team professionals provided a holistic, insightful account of how this youngest generation of professionals is impacting intergenerational project team dynamics and is best motivated and engaged. Accordingly, participant interview responses revealed 11 salient themes that provided deeper understanding of the business problem guiding this inquiry. Findings are particularly applicable to the field of project management, which is heavily comprised of project teams working together to accomplish strategic deliverables for business organizations and their customers. Furthermore, these findings help provide insight to strategic business organizations and leaders to effectively develop this next generation of professionals as they increasingly represent their employee population.
