In the McLane College of Business at University of Mary Hardin-Baylor we are examining the impact that digital platforms have on informal economies as well as examining potentential generational differences related to these topics - and bringing these discussions back into our classrooms. I had a great time presenting "Informal Economy & Digital Platforms: Generational Differences? Further Anecdotal Evidence" at the 2024 IABPAD Summer Virtual Conference today with my colleague Mr. Danny Taylor and our graduate research assistant Ms. Sudhamaireddy Puchakayala. #Economy #InformalEconomy #Digital #DigitalPlatform #Generational #Differences #GenerationalDifferences
