Hatch (1997) mentioned, “Some people confuse ‘technology’ with high technology” (p. 132). In organization theory, high technology (high-tech) “has been used loosely to describe many diverse aspects of new expertise such as computers, microelectronics, multimedia” (p. 132). Zeleny (1990, as cited in Hatch), a logician in cybernetics and technology, argued that high-tech “changes the nature of tasks and their performance, interconnectedness and nature of physical, energy and information flows… acquisitions of high technology implies acquisitions of new organizations, new tasks, new styles [or management], new cultures—new ways of doing business” (p. 132).

Zemke et al. listed their assets in the workplace: “collective activism, optimism, tenacity, multitasking capabilities and technological savvy” (p. 144). In contrast, Zemke et al. also listed their liabilities: theirneed for supervision and structure and their inexperience, particularly with handling difficult people or issues.Gen-Yers may be a unique group largely due to their position in time and their association with ICT. They have influenced and impacted areas such as education and marketing. They are now moving into the workforce. The rules of command-and-control and hierarchies may not be suitable for the digital age. In order to benefit from the strengths of the generation, organizations need to support collaboration and direct communication. In 2006, O’Toole and Lawler updated a 1970s study when
