Abstract
The social accounts of 19 management faculty concerning communication challenges with younger undergraduate students are examined in this interpretive/critical/post structural qualitative inquiry. Key stakeholder groups to the educational process, young undergraduate students, and managers who have hired and supervised recent college graduates are also studied to determine their perceptions of generational communication challenges and their reactions to faculty views. The goal of this qualitative study is to encourage more critical awareness or reflexivity of management educators concerning their often taken-for-granted assumptions concerning students and classroom communication potentials.
