Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the subject of how different generations impact businesses. The review of this impact will include a perspective of generational fit into the business organization. The influence of generations on business occupations will be developed as well. Also, the impact of generational flow on the functional areas of business (e.g., sales and marketing, finance, production, and operations) will also occur for both single functions or departments and multiple functions or departments. That can be read as generation impacts that spread across different business areas. A literature review will be a basis for this part. Finally, there will be consideration of the future demand for certain occupations and how that is related to generation issues. Occupational growth or decline can hint at how much power or influence an incoming generation can have for some occupations.
