The generation gap in the business world is a fascinating phenomenon that highlights the
differences in attitudes, values, and approaches to conducting business between different generations.
One of the key areas where the generation gap is evident is in technology adoption. Younger
generations, such as Millennials and Generation Z, have grown up in the digital age and are generally
more comfortable with technology. They readily embrace new tools, platforms, and digital strategies,
which can significantly impact business practices, marketing strategies, and communication methods.
Workforce expectations also play a crucial role in the generation gap. Each generation has its own
set of expectations when it comes to work-life balance, career progression, and job satisfaction. Younger
generations often prioritize flexibility, purpose-driven work, and a healthy work-life balance.
Meanwhile, older generations may place more emphasis on job stability, loyalty, and traditional career
paths. Leadership styles are another area where the generation gap becomes evident. Baby Boomers and
Generation X typically favor hierarchical structures and a more top-down management style. They are
used to a more authoritative approach to leadership. Conversely, younger generations often prefer
collaborative and inclusive leadership styles, valuing input from all levels of the organization. They
thrive in environments that encourage participation, teamwork, and innovation. Communication
preferences have also evolved with each generation. The way people communicate and consume
information has drastically changed over the years. Younger generations are inclined towards instant
messaging, social media, and other digital channels for communication.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
 It is not surprising that the birthplace of cola was the hot and humid American South. This
region had long specialized in creating delicious soft drinks. A druggist in Atlanta, Georgia named John
Pemberton created the most well-known drink brand in the world in the 1880s. However, it seems clear
that he had no idea how big it would become.
Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton was opposed to the drinking of alcohol
and wanted to produce a stimulating soft drink. First, he made "the French Wine of Coca," made from
the coca leaf. Then he began to experiment with the cola nut. Eventually, he managed to make a
combination of the two that he thought was sweet, but not too sweet. Deciding that "the two C's would
look well in advertising," he named it Coca-Cola.
Pemberton's invention caught on fairly quickly. By 1905, "Coke" was being advertised all over
the country as "The Great Natural Temperance Drink." The drink enjoyed additional success since there
was a large and popular temperance movement in the US at that time. In the 1920s, alcohol was
outlawed, and sales of Coke rose significantly. However, they continued to rise even after the law was
repeated.
Another reason for Coke's popularity was good business sense. A year after he invented it,
Pemberton had sold Coca-Cola to Asa Griggs Candler for only $283.26! Candler was a marketing
genius, and by the time he sold the Coca-Cola Company in 1919, it was worth $25 million.
