La génération Y
Par Ludovic le dimanche 13 février 2011, 22:48 - Actualité - Lien permanent Voici un schéma qui récapitule bien l'écart entre les différentes générations sur l'usage d'Internet dans la vie quotidienne. Il ne manque qu'un aspect : le eCommerce .
L'intégration de la génération Y en entreprise aujourd'hui : enjeux, opportunités, obstacles - Actualité RH, Ressources Humaines
L'enquête "L'intégration de la génération Y en entreprise aujourd'hui : Enjeux, opportunités et obstacles pour les entreprises et les institutions de formation" a été réalisée par l'IAE Lyon à l'occasion du 9ème Forum Carrières du Management. Dite en rupture avec les attitudes de ses ainés vis-à-vis du travail et des entreprises, cette génération donnerait du fil à retordre aux entreprises, mais constituerait un atout indéniable pour impulser le changement. Quelles visions les entreprises ont-elles de ces jeunes ?
HR Today - Artikel Detail - Intelligente et ouverte sur le monde la génération Y fuit la longue durée
HR Today | 02/2009 | Texte: Agnès Gabirout Ils ont ouvert leurs esprits en voyageant autour du monde et sur les bancs de l’Université. Très cool dans leur approche du monde professionnel, la génération Y a pourtant de la peine à se projeter dans une carrière de longue durée. Le développement de leurs talents de manière plus approfondie reste leur plus gros défi. Portrait réalisé par une «late baby-boomer». Tableau tiré de "Generations at Work" de Ron Zemke, Claire Raines et Bob Pilipczak.
Social Change Leadership Network: Multigenerational Leadership
On April 13, a diverse group of Baby Boomers, Gen X-ers, and Millenials working for social change came together to explore multi-generational leadership in the nonprofit sector. The learning session, one of a series through RCLA's Social Change Leadership Network, was a chance for participants to work within their generation and across generations to better understand themselves and how to work with each other. In an interactive exercise, participants identified key values for people born between 1946 and 1964 (Baby Boomers); 1965 and 1980 (Gen X-ers); and 1981 and 2003 (Millenials/Gen Y-ers) by answering the following questions: Participants then role-played to answer these same questions from the first-person perspective of the two other generations. This dynamic exchange revealed some surprising perceptions participants had of each other and allowed participants to clarify misperceptions and false projections about their generational values.The business world has been watching this emerging generation with trepidation, and a lot of us haven’t been sure who would be the winners, and who would be the losers. Can they survive as entrepreneurs, and do they have the passion it takes to run a startup and attract investors? My own perspective is that the recession has been good for Gen-Y (Millennials), because it has forced them to face reality, often for the first time in their life. In the last couple of years, even college grads with advanced degrees don’t have job opportunities waiting for them.
Startup Professionals Musings: We Need More Gen-Y Entrepreneurs to Fuel the Wave
Fifty percent of world population is under 30 years old. Generation Y is the first generation to grow up with technology; they experience technology even before romance enters their lives. They are digital natives – their whole social lives are on social networks. And that impacts their behaviors, attitudes and expectations… especially their expectations toward future employers. It seems that money isn’t one of the primary motivators for this generation.
Generation Y: The New Kind of Workforce
Même si elle n’est pas encore prête de prendre le pouvoir, la Génération Y va changer le monde. Cette génération aux contours imprécis (en gros les adolescents et jeunes adultes) a des aspirations bien différentes de celles de leurs parents baby-boomers. C’est cette thématique qui était au centre de la table ronde organisée hier soir à Paris « Génération Y : à la croisée de trajectoires pro et perso ». Parmi les invités, des entrepreneurs sociaux, des professionnels du développement durable ou de l’humanitaire. De cette soirée, je retiendrai que la Génération Y met au centre de ses préoccupations l’adéquation entre projet professionnel et valeurs.
DD bloc: Partagez-vous les aspirations de la Génération Y?
Une génération est un groupe de personnes qui peuvent être identifiées par des tendances démographiques et des expériences communes. Aujourd’hui, où l’on parle d’entreprise à la carte et de fidélisation des talents, cette classification semble montrer ses limites quand on cherche à identifier les attentes professionnelles et personnelles de ses salariés. Une nouvelle classification est en train d’émerger, qui semble plus relevante pour gérer les salariés en tant que personnes et prendre en compte les attentes, rêves et besoins des individualités. D’accord, il y a des cultures communes.
Classement des générations. Encore d’actualité ?
Gen Y is taking over. The generation of young adults that's composed of the children of Boomers, Generation Jones, and even some Gen X'ers, is the biggest generation since the Baby Boomers and three times the size of Gen X. As the Boomers fade into retirement and Gen Y takes root in the workplace, we're going to see some big changes ahead, not just at work, but on the web as a whole. There's some contention over where exactly Gen Y starts and stops - some say those born 1983-1997, others think 1982-1997. In this week's Entertainment Weekly , Gen Y is defined as "current 13 to 31 year-olds" and BusinessWeek says they can be as young as five.
Why Gen Y Is Going to Change the Web
"Generation Y and work in the tourism and hospitality industry: problem" by Grant Cairncross and Jeremy Buultjens
Abstract It appears that there are employers who believe that Generation Y employees are often problematic. The technology, mass marketing, political times, and pop-culture in which Generation Y have grown up has ensured they have appreciably different ambitions and world views to previous generations. This paper reports the results of a study examining tourism and hospitality employer views of Generation Y employees and how some employers are attempting to draw upon the strengths of these workers.Principal researcher for InterGen at the Work Foundation, Dr Wilson Wong, looks at whether the evidence that each working-age generation is subject to factors that have shaped its identity is inconclusive and whether the construct of 'generations' adequately addresses such complexities as chronological age, life- or work-stage and context and methodological constraints. He also explores how the generational theory is assumed to be true and those perceived differences makes for cross-generational conflict within organisations. He goes on to conclude that further research should focus on the contours of fairness; the principles underpinning a healthy negotiation of what is fair between generations. The Times, a respectable broadsheet, claims that '...Baby Boomers and members of Generation X (are) like dogs – treat them right and they will be loyal. But members of...Generation Y, are more like cats: they just go where the money is.' ( Booth 2007 ).

The Entrepreneurial Generation?
“I need to come up with a way of implementing ‘competition and rewards’ features on my app, I am sure people will be more excited about it then. Gamification is the new black” explained James Dean, a 22 year old product manager for a tech start-up in NYC. ( Sidenote: ‘Gamification’ used to be such a sacred word in tech circles but now it’s so bloody trite. I swear neologisms are the devil ).The fight is in his face, confidence oozes through him and he claims his biggest attribute is his remarkable enthusiasm. James graduated from NYU last year and plans to start his own start-up in the next few weeks, a location-cognizant mobile application that notifies you of specific activities based on your social interests.Questionable Ethics And The Next Generation Of Entrepreneurs - SVW
Posted by Tom Foremski - April 19, 2011 The film "The Social Network" has helped to make startups popular among young people the world over. It's just one factor inspiring new generations of entrepreneurs hoping to succeed through innovation and hard work. But are they learning ethical ways of doing business?Jo Ann Hicks, 41, interacts as "Jojo_66", her virtual likeness, in the online shopping-and-partying game Kaneva, where she meets up with online friends to chat via her home computer in Columbia, S.C., in November 2007. Generation X (ages 33-44) uses the Internet to "take care of business," with 67% banking online; 80% buy products online, compared with 71% in Gen Y. The 33-44 age group also use the Internet for watching videos and socializing, but less so than Gen Y.
