Abstract
Cultural convergence continues to transform the marketplace as borrowing among cultures accelerates. It is valuable to evaluate groups of residents of different nations to identify generational similarities and/or differences. This manuscript presents the results of a pilot study comparing Generation X in the United States, and South Koreans who fit the age requirements for membership (born between 1961–1981). The focal points for the study include: Financial wealth, family, spirituality and religion, and society. The areas of agreement and disagreement are identified, results interpreted, and implications for marketers explored.
