Description: Millennials are self-obsessed and demand constant attention. Baby boomers can’t adapt to change, let alone work in teams. Gen-X doesn’t respect the rules. Yes, every generation has unique characteristics. However, their differences in experiences, priorities, and skills can create both conflict and opportunity. And these generational complexities are only exacerbated as the world grows more global and the workforce becomes more culturally diverse.

In this course, students will examine the evolving demographic and social trends that are rewriting the rules of today’s workplace. In particular, students will look at the values defining baby boomers, Gen-X, and baby busters, along with their impact on interoffice dynamics and management strategy. The course will cover various cultural differences, along with providing a toolkit for engaging these various groups.
