| Summary |
Generational differences have always influenced how business is done, but in the case of "digital natives"-those immersed in digital technology from birth-we are witnessing a tectonic shift. As an always-connected, socially networked generation comes to dominate business and society, organizations can ignore the implications only at the risk of irrelevance. |
|
In this revealing book, Michelle Manafy, Heidi Gautschi, and a stellar cast of experts from business and academia provide vital insights into the characteristics of digital natives, offering an in-depth look at how they work, shop, play, and learn. Dancing With Digital Natives will help any manager, marketer, or educator embrace-and stay in step with-a generation that's transforming how business is done. |
