But what does this shift mean for businesses? And how can we ensure a smooth transition that doesn't leave anyone behind? +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New...

Understanding Gen Z – How this start up is engaging a new generation of consumers
How can brands connect with the next generation of consumers? It's a question on the minds of many, especially in a bustling online marketplace. Yet, only a few have cracked the code.
