The purpose of this thesis is to determine the business viability of Oasis Destination Club, the first destination club designed entirely for the upper middle income baby boomer. The baby boomer generation is the largest demographic group in the United States, numbering 78 million individuals, between the ages of 41 and 59. As this demographic group ages and nears retirement they are seeking out ways to spend their vacation time. Many are considering vacation housing products; however, there are several key issues surrounding vacation home ownership that are not addressed by the current vacation housing products. These key issues include: 1) overall cost, 2) lack of variety in destinations, 3) illiquidity of investment, 4) inflexible use models, and 5) lack of services. To address these key issues destination clubs were developed. Club members are granted use rights in a portfolio of residences located in different destinations around the world. Each residence is large enough to accommodate a family or group and services are on a par with a well run hotel. In recent years destination clubs have experienced very strong growth in the upper income or high net worth market.
(cont.) Oasis Destination Club plans to be the first destination to target the upper middle income market, while also addressing the five key issues of vacation home ownership, thereby, becoming the premier brand name in the upper middle income market. In simple comparison terms Oasis Destination Club plans to become the Marriot in an industry where only the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons exist. The market study indicated that an Oasis Destination Club has a potential market size between 35,000 and 70,000 households. This market has a price point of $75,000 with annual dues between $15,000 and $8,500. For these fees Oasis Destination Club plans to provide use rights in a portfolio of $1,000,000 residences around the world, which are large enough to accommodate family and group vacationing. Consistent service that removes the hassle and worry from second home ownership or villa/hotel rental would also be provided. Financial projections for Oasis Destination Club indicate that the business would break even in the second year and would require $1.7 million of start up funding at the company level with an additional $2 million in TIC 1031 backed funding to purchase the initial property portfolio.

Bohannan-Calloway, J. Michael. "LGBT Baby Boomers' resiliency dynamics| A qualitative study." Thesis, Capella University, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10240525.
Full textResilience is the ability to be adaptable in times of adversity. In the past fifty years, individuals who identify as being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender have experienced the broadest spectrum from being seen as immoral degenerates to gaining equality in the eyes of the law. Limited research on LGBT resilience has placed emphasis on circumstantial, episodic contentions rather than the dynamics of resiliency experiences of sexual minorities or gender identity. Existing research is even split between quantitative and qualitative methods but does not consider lifelong resiliency dynamic experiences. Qualitatively exploring the resiliency experiences of LGBT Baby Boomers can offer valuable information for the design of sensitivity training of health professionals and amend LGBT resiliency research literature with a broader range of life experiences. Prior research established precedents of resilient self-analysis of expansive situational issues particularly in regard to aging, health, and community. Accordingly, this qualitative research study strived to gain a better understanding of LGBT Baby Boomer resilience as a concept, personal qualities to overcome adverse situations or be resilient, those resilient qualities in regard to sexual orientation or gender identity, and qualities unique not only to their sexual orientation or gender identity, but as Baby Boomers. Five themes were identified that describe resiliency experiences of LGBT Baby Boomers.

The baby boomer generation is an unprecedented demographic of 78 million Americans, now entering retirement. Living mostly in suburbs and dependent on private vehicles for nearly all travel needs, boomers face increasing mobility challenges as they age. Evidence suggests that walkable and social neighborhoods are important in sustaining independence and good health during later life. Age-restricted communities may offer a social and physical environment that supports an active lifestyle. I use a travel survey to investigate local activity and sociability in age-restricted communities and unrestricted typical neighborhoods in suburban Boston. I explore three techniques to account for residential self-selection, attempting to isolate the true effect of neighborhood location from personal preferences. Controlling for income, retirement and other factors, residents of restricted communities are more active than residents of typical suburbs, with more people making trips on foot and to visit neighbors. Boomers appear to select age-restricted locations to fulfill latent desires to make trips to neighbors, whereas increased walking in the same communities does not appear to be a result of self-selection. The association between age-restricted communities and increased activity suggest that these developments have lessons for better suburban environments. How the communities influence activity is not understood: in models, measures of urban form are not significant, though these developments appear to have different layouts from typical neighborhoods. More detailed analysis and additional data collection may provide a clearer assessment of the role of different neighborhood features in influencing boomer travel habits.

Full textBaby boomers are a large population rapidly transitioning into older adulthood. As the proportion of older adults will be higher in the coming decade than at any previous point in history, the aging of the population has placed successful aging at the forefront of public health and health care efforts. Baby boomers have disproportionately low rates of successful aging and physical activity, even though physical activity is known to contribute to successful aging. Existing exercise programs are ineffective as evidenced by the widespread access to but poor participation in exercise programs. Archery exercise is a relatively unexplored, yet promising, physical activity intervention for baby boomers. This exploratory and qualitative case study was the first to explore the role of archery exercise in promoting successful aging through physical activity among baby boomers. A purposeful sample of 12 non-institutionalized baby boomers living in a Midwest community were enrolled in a six-week archery exercise program. A total of 8 females and 3 males with varying physical activity levels completed the program. Information from post-program, semi-structured interviews were triangulated with findings from a literature review. Key themes emerging from the interpretive analysis included physical benefits, mental benefits, positive social experience, appropriateness and benefit for older adults, and motivation to continue. Physical benefits included upper body strength, balance, and improvement to individual limitations. Mental benefits included concentration, movement control, confidence, and relief from individual mental challenges. Participants believed archery exercise is appropriate and beneficial for older adults because of the enjoyment, low intensity, rewarding, shareable, individualized, and multiple component aspects. The study demonstrates archery exercise is a promising physical activity intervention for baby boomers in this community. Future research is needed to explore the impact of archery exercise in other communities and among other older adult populations. Awareness about what constitutes physical activity is needed to encourage participation in exercise programs. Collaboration between public health, sporting, and community stakeholders is needed to deliver additional community-based, multiple component exercise programs to baby boomers. Archery exercise may be an effective physical activity intervention to address population aging concerns, although more research is needed to justify this claim.

Full textThe official standard of a 40-hour work week has not changed for decades in the United States. A flexible work arrangement (a.k.a. telework, flexible schedule or telecommuting) is an alternative to the traditional 9am to 5pm, 40+hours work week in office. In truth, the working environment has changed as employees are expected to work more than 40 hours per week and must be accessible around the clock on weekends and after the end of the workday.
Millennials and Baby Boomers (called the emerging populations) are pushing the agenda on flexible work arrangements and getting more flexible schedules. Technology makes this all possible. Millennials are described as the always-connected-to-the-internet generation (Choney, 2012), while any new technological process requires significant instruction and training, and presents a challenge for older workers (Charness, 2006).
This grounded theory research (Glaser and Strauss, 1999) informs and updates academics, practitioners, companies, and employees on how technology is enabling flexible working arrangements (referred to as FWA) for the emerging populations. The paper draws on both unstructured interviews and a survey with key informants across age ranges who are business owners, corporate workers, and employees. It explores the tools that are critical to connecting to the office, the advantages and disadvantages of working outside the office, and gives guidelines for employers and workers to utilize when creating a best-in-class flexible environment.

Full textInom forskningen råder oenighet kring generationer och dess betydelse. Ena sidan menar att varje generation präglas av gemensamma värderingar och att detta i sin tur kan bidra till att konflikter uppstår på arbetsplatser där flera generationer är representerade. Den andra sidan av forskningen menar däremot att det finns faktorer som är viktigare än vilken generation individen tillhör, exempelvis kön eller vilken fas i livet personen befinner sig i. Det är en spännande kamp forskare emellan och oavsett vilken sida som har bäst odds infann sig intresset av att undersöka saken närmare. I en amerikansk studie framkom det att generation y, födda 1980-1995, upplevde ett motstånd från äldre generationer i sitt arbete. Utifrån detta skapades tre frågor som skulle svara upp på syftet som var att beskriva hur (kvinnor i) generation y upplever samarbetet med kollegor från andra generationer och om de anser att generationsskillnader existerar. De frågor som ställdes var; Vilka svårigheter upplever generation y inom arbetslivet och går dessa att koppla till generationsskillnaderna? Vad kan generation y bidra med i ett arbetslag, vilka styrkor har de? Vad kan generationsskillnader på en arbetsplats bidra med och vilka lösningar finns på de potentiella konflikter som kan uppstå orsakade utav dessa? Fyra personer tillhörande generation y bjöds in till en fokusgrupp för att, utifrån en intervjuguide, diskutera dessa frågor. Under två timmar blandades skratt med ilska och sorg när respondenterna fick beskriva de olika generationerna, hur de upplevt motstånd och vad de såg för lösningar på de problem som presenterades. Efteråt kunde det konstateras att generationer är ett komplext ämne och att det väcker känslor. Resultatet av studien bekräftade tidigare studier gällande generationsskillnaders existens. Likväl som generationsskillnader bekräftades framkom även andra faktorer som påverkar hur individer är. Precis som de amerikanska respondenterna upplevde även de svenska respondenterna ett motstånd från äldre generationer som grundade sig i en känsla av att aldrig duga. Sammanfattningsvis behövs mer forskning kring ämnet som inte bara väcker starka känslor utan också påverkar hur organisationer fungerar.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to find out the generations millennials and baby boomers approach to the media's veracity and political neutrality. This was done using the following questions: What attitudes does Millennials and Baby Boomers have to the news media's veracity? Are there differences and similarities there when we look at the variables gender and political position? To define the generations we used Cliff Zukins generation theory. There are several other theories with different definitions of generations, but we chose to limit ourselves to Zukins model because we considered this to be the most relevant to our purpose. To obtain additional information about the generation's positions on various issues, we have also assumed Paula M Poindexters research on the issue, and Göran Bolins definition of Manheims theory. Finally we used Jesper Strömbäcks definition of the agenda setting theory when it was accurate. We chose to conduct a survey in order to be able to reach as many respondents as possible. Because we wanted to compare two specific generations with eachother, we used a quota sampling. The answers gave us an overall picture of the different generational attitudes toward the news media. The results showed that generational affiliation did not affect public confidence in the news media. When we added the gender variable, the result is different, the younger generation of women had significantly higher confidence than men in the same group. Both the younger and the older men had a more critical view of the news media content than women. This shows that gender is a significant variable in the issue of trust. Political opinion also turned out to be an important variable. The biggest difference was shown in the generation of baby boomers where three quarters of the red voters had a fairly strong confidence in the news media. Those who vote blue in this generation had a significantly lower confidence. The main difference depending on generational affiliation was shown in the question of how easy it is to spot fake news. Millennials believed it was much easier to determine authenticity in news than baby boomers. Only two percent of the older generation felt that it was easy to spot, the corresponding figure in the younger generation was 12 percent. The majority of all respondents stated that they believe in a large or fairly large future increase of false news. This result did not affect the respondents' views on how easy it is to see if the news is false. The conclusion we can draw is that the generational affiliation does not affect the question of confidence in the news media, however, it does have an affect in how easy it is to determine if news is true or false.When measuring confidence towards the news media, political opinion was the most important variable.

Purchasing fair trade products is a form of socially responsible consumption. Fair trade is founded on the idea of paying fair wages and providing safe working environments to marginalized producers, typically from developing countries. Baby Boomers, the generational cohort that is the focus of this study, were born between the years 1946 and 1964. The purpose of this thesis is to expand the knowledge base of fair trade consumption related to the Baby Boomer generation. This study makes a positive contribution towards this goal by furthering the understanding of Baby Boomers knowledge about and attitudes towards the fair trade movement, as well as assessing their current level of engagement in purchasing of fair trade products and their perceptions about barriers to purchasing fair trade products to a greater degree. An additional contribution made by this study is the comparison of differences in fair trade knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of Early versus Late Baby Boomers—a new contribution to the body of knowledge on fair trade. Altogether, 168 Baby Boomers (63 Late Boomers and 105 Early Baby Boomers) participated in the study. Data were collected through an online questionnaire. Questions in the questionnaire focused on: 1) knowledge of the fair trade movement; 2) attitudes about the fair trade movement; 3) fair trade purchasing behaviors; and 4) perceived barriers to fair trade purchasing. Data analysis included a combination of both quantitative (descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, and correlation analysis) and qualitative techniques. Guagnano, Stern, and Dietz’s (1995) ABC Model framed the study and Rogers (1983) diffusion theory and the prerequisites for adoption of an innovation guided conceptualization of the barriers to fair trade purchasing. Overall, findings of the study indicated that the participants were knowledgeable about the fair trade movement. They also exhibited positive attitudes towards fair trade but were not willing to compromise on certain product characteristics. The participants were somewhat engaged in a number of fair trade purchasing behaviors and they perceived numerous barriers to purchasing fair trade products. Finally, there were no identifiable differences between the Early and Late Baby Boomers in terms of knowledge, attitudes, or behaviors.

Therefore, and recognizing its importance, the main objectives of this study were to learn about the transition to retirement process and its related meanings for baby boomers in the public sector. Using a mixed methodology, 382 retirees shared their perceptions on the subjects via questionnaire and 6 via interviews. This study concluded with a validation of previous authors on the importance of being prepared prior to retirement especially in the case of those with disability retirement.

Full textNursing unit managers from different generations of nurses are expected to manage their units effectively, in order to achieve the healthcare goals for their clients. Directing a unit can be affected by the generational differences among nursing unit managers. It has been stated that generational differences are associated with different perceptions on directing a nursing unit. However, in Namibia, no similar evidence exists to support this theory; therefore, a contextual understanding of the nursing unit managers’ perceptions was necessary to inform future measures of improving the management of a nursing unit. Aim: The purpose of this study was to understand and explore the perceptions of nursing unit managers, from different generation cohorts, on directing a unit. Methods: An exploratory - descriptive qualitative research approach was employed. The data were collected from ten participants, using semi-structured interviews. The data analysis was done through thematic content analysis. Results The nursing unit managers had positive perceptions about their role of directing a nursing unit. The managers’ perceptions of communication, motivation, coaching, and leadership were similar. The differences in the managers’ perceptions were not directly related to generational differences between the nursing unit managers. In general, the nursing unit managers valued communication, and considered it the most significant skill required in directing a nursing unit. Discussion: Nursing unit managers from different generation cohorts view their role of directing a unit positively, and share similar perceptions, regardless of the differences in their generations. The little differences noted were not directly related to the nursing unit managers’ generations. Therefore, nursing unit managers need to be well skilled in communication, motivation, coaching, and leadership, to manage a nursing unit/ward.

Attitude is a construct composed of cognitive, affective and conative elements, where individuals develop an evaluative answer, favorable or not, in relation to a product. The objective of this research was to evaluate the differences in the attitudes of Generation Z consumers, in relation to Baby boomers, regarding jeanswear. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional and with quantitative approach research, developed on the internet, with a non-probabilistic sample and application of convenience sampling. An on-line questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect the data. The valid sample size of the survey was 373 respondents, 230 of Generation Z and 143 of the Baby boomers. Based on the results, it was verified that the higher number of participants of the research was of Generation Z, with predominance of feminine gender in both generations; 40% of Generation Z and only 19.6% of Baby boomers already participated in fashion research and 95.7% of Generation Z and 96.5% of Baby boomers never participated in research on jeanswear; both generations consume denim pieces eventually; Generation Z owns more denim pieces; in the Baby Boomers, the Cognitive Elements manifest themselves more expressively than in Generation Z, and in these the Affective Elements manifest themselves more strongly than in the Baby Boomers, and the Conative Element expresses itself less expressively than the other elements for both generations; there was a significant and positive influence of the Affective and Conative Elements with the Attitudes construct in relation to fashion consumption, but there was not a significant and positive influence of the Cognitive Elements with Attitudes in relation to fashion consumption. The results point to the justified and even expected incompatibility of opinions, convictions, context and reality between the generations analyzed here for jeanswear. It is believed that conducting this research will contribute to the expansion of knowledge in the fashion field, specifically on the jeanswear segment, as well as to provide a guide to future academic researches and strategic decisions in companies. One limitation of the study was the restricted number of participants, since two generations were analyzed. It is recommended to deepen the research by concentrating the studies by Brazilian region, among other countries and with other generations, such as X and Y.
Atitude é um constructo composto pelos elementos cognitivos, afetivos e conativos, onde os indivíduos desenvolvem uma resposta avaliativa, favorável ou não, em relação a um produto. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar as diferenças das atitudes dos consumidores da Geração Z, em relação aos Baby boomers, no que se refere ao jeanswear. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa survey, descritiva, com delineamento transversal, abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvida na internet, com amostra não probabilística e por conveniência. Para a coleta dos dados utilizou-se como instrumento um questionário online. A amostra válida da pesquisa foi de 373 respondentes, sendo 230 da Geração Z e 143 da geração Baby boomers. A partir dos resultados, verificou-se que o maior número de participantes da pesquisa foi da Geração Z, com predominância do gênero feminino em ambas as gerações; 40% da Geração Z e apenas 19,6% dos Baby boomers já participaram em pesquisa de moda e 95,7% da Geração Z e 96,5% dos Baby boomers nunca participaram de pesquisa sobre jeanswear; ambas as gerações consomem peças jeans eventualmente; a Geração Z é detentora de maior número de peças jeans; nos Baby boomers, os Elementos Cognitivos se manifestam com maior expressividade do que para a Geração Z e nestes os Elementos Afetivos se manifestam com maior intensidade do que para os Baby boomers e o Elemento Conativo se manifesta de maneira menos expressiva do que os outros elementos para ambas as gerações; houve uma influência significativa e positiva dos Elementos Afetivos e dos Conativos com o constructo Atitudes em relação ao consumo de moda, mas não houve uma influência significativa e positiva dos Elementos Cognitivos com as Atitudes em relação ao consumo de moda. Os resultados apontam para a justificada e até esperada incompatibilidade de opiniões, convicções, contexto e realidade entre as gerações aqui analisadas quanto ao jeanswear. Acredita-se que a realização desta pesquisa possa contribuir da melhor forma para a ampliação do conhecimento na área de moda, especificamente sobre o segmento de jeanswear, bem como constituir um referencial e direcionamento para nortear futuras pesquisas acadêmicas e decisões estratégicas nas empresas. Uma limitação do estudo foi o número restrito de participantes, pois foram analisadas duas gerações. Recomenda-se o aprofundamento da pesquisa concentrando os estudos por região brasileira, entre outros países e com outras gerações, como a X e a Y.
