#14 Generation Y versus Generation C – what’s the difference?

July 6, 2009 by  

This week I’m looking at the difference between Generation C and Generation Y, with some big implications for marketing and society at large.

The video is 5 mins 53 seconds long and covers the following:

  • A recap of a definition of Generation C itself
  • Defining Generation Y commenting on two authorities: Peter Sheahan and Howe & Strauss
  • Looking at why these two authorities have radically different views on the characteristics of Generation Y
  • Explaining how Generation Y relates to Generation C
  • The implications for marketing and society in general.

So – what do you think – is Generation Y selfish or selfless?

I look forward to your comments.
