IS GENERATION Z REALLY “DIGITALLY NATIVE”?

Despite living a digital life, 98% of Generation Z still shop in-store
Despite expectations that the first “digitally native” generation would want to shop online, a new study released by IBM and the National Retail Federation in the United States found that almost all members of Generation Z prefer to shop in bricks-and-mortar stores. With the global Gen Z population set to reach 2.6 billion by 2020, retailers need to create more interactive engagement around their brands to serve the “always on”, mobile-focused, high-spending demographic, according to the study. Born after the mid-1990’s till early 2000s, Generation Z is the first “digitally native” group to grow up not knowing a world before cellular phones, smartphones and other digital devices. But the study found that 67% of Generation Z shop in a bricks-and-mortar store most of the time, with another 31% shopping in-store sometimes, indicating 98% of Gen Z shop in store .

E-MOBILITY INDEX Q1/2017

Important role with stricter emissions regulations
New impetus in the drive to establish E-mobility across the continents will come from the world’s major conurbations according to experts from Roland Berger and the renowned German automotive research institute fka in their new joint study Electromobility Index Q1 2017. The world’s major cities have already announced plans to introduce regulatory instruments reducing emissions with cities such as London, Paris and Mexico City planning to ban diesel and petrol engines. China has announced a quota for electric vehicles and Norway is discussing a blanket ban on internal combustion engines from 2025. According to Roland Berger Partner and Co-author Thomas Schlick, “Governments must continue to invest in the technology mix. This extends from funding research to subsidizing the expansion of charging infrastructure and sales promotion via customer subsidies.”
