In the preface, the authors write:

“As individuals who have simultaneously been active in both academic and industrial environments, and who have witnessed firsthand the significant conflicts between generations in the workplace, we repeatedly observed stark differences in values, attitudes, and communication methods. These differences sometimes led to serious challenges and even the loss of important business opportunities. Our education and experience in technology and business management provided us the opportunity to examine these conflicts in depth from psychological, cultural, and managerial perspectives. On one hand, we have seen managers who remain committed to phone calls and hierarchical structures, and on the other hand, employees who have grown up in a digital world and prefer more flexible structures and faster communication. Drawing from our diverse experiences across industrial and educational sectors, we have aimed to provide a careful and impartial analysis of generational differences, along with practical and actionable solutions to improve workplace relationships, productivity, and job satisfaction within organizations.”
