Headline findings Role & impact of business Business has an overall positive impact on wider society and brings prosperity. Millennials in emerging markets feel very positive about all aspects of business, its behaviour and outcomes. Those in developed markets are far more skeptical (they agree it brings prosperity but question its commitment to the greater good ). Role of business is to provide jobs and generate profits, and then to drive innovation, efficiency and enable progress. It s role is not necessarily to protect the environment/improve society, but Businesses, and to a greater extent governments, are felt to have great potential to improve society s most pressing challenges. These challenges are unemployment (especially in mature markets) and environmental damage and its consequences (more so in emerging markets) Overall the potential of business and governments to meet society s challenges is going largely unfilled. They could do much more. 6 The Deloitte Millennial Survey
Headline findings Innovation & Millennials futures Innovation is seen to derive from process/planning rather than spontaneous moments of genius. Business, rather than governments, academia etc. is expected to deliver future innovations. Innovation is a significant factor when considering a prospective employer (especially in emerging markets). Greatest single barrier to innovation is thought to be financial, though in aggregate it is being choked by factors businesses have the resources to overcome: Management vision/outlook; Operational factors; Employee incentivization, motivation, diversity. Most Millennials say they are not rewarded for thinking of innovative ideas or encouraged to challenge the status quo. One in four Millennials want to be given more of a chance to lead and be trusted to take on leadership tasks. Nearly three-quarters see themselves working independently. They could therefore be lost to traditional organizations (most especially in emerging markets). 7 The Deloitte Millennial Survey
