- Abstract
Members of Generation Z (Gen Zers) are now the majority cohort on campuses, and their share will increase in the coming years. They are unique in their characteristics and needs--even in comparison with the immediately preceding generation of Millennials. Based on an extensive literature review, we identify several factors that have shaped Gen Zers--with technology being a dominant common denominator. We then describe Gen Zers' key differentiating characteristics--use of technology, social ineptness, increased mental health disorders, need for guidance, and a different value system. Finally, with constructivist learning as a theoretical foundation, we make recommendations to serve their unique needs in business education. These include offering flexible education, engaging them with technology, engaging them with "non-technology," devising an education that aligns with their value system, and providing them with support and guidance.
