Shoppingmiljön för detaljhandeln har genomgått stora förändringar under de senaste åren. Realisationer samt kampanjer blir att vanligare och mer frekvent förekommande samtidigt som stora delar av konsumenternas olika produktköp numera sker allt mer via internethandeln istället för i fysiska butiker. Den fysiska klädhandeln får det allt tuffare och visar en nedåtgående trend i försäljningssiffror, vilket kan härledas både till den ökade e-handeln samt till det faktum att allt fler kampanjer gör att konsumenterna kan välja att fynda i princip när som helst då nästa kampanj aldrig är långt bort. Samtidigt som e-handeln växer och digitaliseringen av modebranschen blir allt tydligare, så blir det även allt viktigare för företagen att nå ut till de yngre generationerna, Y och Z, som är mer uppkopplade än någon tidigare generation och spenderar mycket tid på sociala medier. Dessa generationers förkärlek för digitala medier påverkar även deras köpbeteenden vilket gör det allt viktigare för företagen att förstå sig på dessa generationer och vad som motiverar deras köpbeteenden.   Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar köpintentionen hos kvinnor i generation Y och Z. Vidare är studien riktad till de kvinnor i dessa generationer som handlar träningskläder online då denna uppsats utgår från träningskläds-företaget Stronger då detta företag är en bra representation av ett yngre digitalt företag vars huvudsakliga målgrupp är kvinnor i åldrarna 18 till 30 år, en grupp som även faller inom ramarna för generation Y och Z.   Studien utformades som en kvantitativ undersökning utförd både i webb-enkätform samt via fysiska enkäter och genererade 128 respondenter tillhörande målgruppen. De faktorer som undersöktes kopplade till köpintentioner var: priskänslighet, fyndshopping, självbild, opinion seeking, påverkan av influencers, user-generated content, elektronisk word-of-mouth, varumärkeslojalitet samt varumärkesinvolvering. Resultatet av studien fann att faktorerna priskänslighet, fyndshopping samt user-generated content fick ett signifikant stöd för sin påverkan på målgruppens köpintentioner av träningskläder i e-handeln. Bakomliggande faktorer för detta resultat diskuteras sedan av författarna med stöd av tidigare forskning och slutligen presenteras förslag för fortsatt forskning samt praktiska rekommendationer för Stronger.

Helping through acts of philanthropy is a cultural norm in the United States. People of all generations give to a variety of causes, including their alma maters. Research shows that millennials had positive experiences at their institutions and want to stay engaged. However, they are more likely to donate to their favorite cause than their alma mater. This study investigates what motivates the millennial generation to give to their undergraduate alma mater. Building on existing work targeted at giving, it asks: To what extent does personal experience affect millennials giving to their alma mater before graduation, during the process of graduation, and after graduation? Based on the review of literature on generational giving, and the theory of planned behavior, a survey was distributed targeting millennials who met the following two criteria: 1) born between 1980–2000, and 2) graduated with an undergraduate degree between 2005 and 2015. A secondary analysis of data was employed to correlate the findings from the close-ended survey and examine the giving trends among millennials and how those trends vary among the other three giving generations: mature/silents, baby boomers, and Generation X. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

The purpose of the study is to determine the influence of the Y-generation students’ preferences on office layout and how important the workplace is in attracting, recruiting and retaining Generation Y workers. The objectives of this study revolves around Generation Y’s preferences about their future workplace, what workspace design and technology they would like in the office, their travel preferences to work, how the workplace can contribute towards job satisfaction and other facilities they prefer to have access to on site. The research sample consisted of 334 students from the University of Pretoria. These participants were approached on a convenience basis as well as advertised via social networks to complete the survey online. A multi-dimensional data analysis to enable an accurate assessment of the specific objectives guided the study. This study enables a better understanding of Generation Y and what their workplace preferences entail. Businesses can gain an understanding of how they can use their real estate and facilities as strategic assets to attract and retain the Y-Generation talent pool. Social, demographic and economic changes are causing a severe skills shortage. People are attracted to workplaces where values are clearly communicated. Generation Y in particular is ready to engage with companies that provide the environments in which they will thrive. Workplace design is likely to become a strategic weapon in the battle to attract and retain scarce young talent in today’s increasingly competitive global economy. The results have shown that employers should keep up to the rapid technological growth and not fall behind. Companies should transform workplaces which allow for individual work, collaborative tasks and provide an environmentally green workplace – not only into its design, but also in the way employees work. / Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Human Resource Management / unrestricted

This paper analyses the probability that first- and second-generation immigrants in Sweden enter the self-employment market, and the propensity of being self-employed in certain industry levels. Furthermore, whether the motives and characteristics for choosing self-employment differ between generations by including control variables. To solve this thesis question, a cross-sectional sampling from the European Social Survey database between the years 2010 to 2018 and the Linear Probability Model was used. The result in this study indicated that the propensity to become self-employed is not significant between the analysed generations. Concluding that first- and second-generation immigrants have an equal amount of activeness in self-employment and that all characteristics have an effect on their propensity to become self-employed. The generations being self-employed in the low-barrier industry is dependent on their educational level. It was found that females had the highest probability of being self-employed in comparison to males. However, a drawback of this study was the sample size which was significantly small and also the multiple variables that were insignificant.
