ABSTRACT. This article explains the importance of business educators engaging Generation NeXt through techniques that business has found successful for reaching this new generation of workers. As instructors in management, finance, and accounting, we have experienced the success of using the team-based structure of learning organizations. By forming teams, opening their access to information, and having the students teach other students using technology, business instructors provide these millennial learners a valuable learning experience with the greatest retention rate defined by learning pyramid. This paper describes elements of learning organizations and technology-enabled learning that facilitate and motivate student learning. We describe examples of technology and activities for use in the business classes to enhance the delivery and retention of material to a generation that has the skill and desire to try the latest electronic tools.
