Use the word document attachment (cf_DBA_topic_template) to fulfill this request. The attachment (statement of the problem) is a format of how the problem statement needs to be worded.

Leadership in the new century and generational change is what I am most interested in.

Topic: Generational change in the tourism industry on Guam.

Instructions:
research and synthesize current scholarly journal articles centered around an active business problem. The same requirements for a Business Problem in DB-R8921 are still in place for DB9940 Milestone 1. Critical is searching a minimum of two peer reviewed business journal articles that are current (within three years) plus at least one scholarly article from an academic institution (for example, Harvard Business Review) and synthesizing the articles.

feedback from one advisor (pending one more response and feedback)

The idea of cross-generational issues at work is a rich topic.
I believe you are focusing on Gen Y & Millenials (based on the attached).
I think it may still be too broad.

What aspect of Gen Y and Millenial interactions are you interested in?
What has been done with them? What hasn”t?
See if any dissertations or theses have used this topic.
Then look for the “future studies” comments or sections.
These may give you a hint for a direction.

Based on your attachment, I think you want to look at
1) challenges of 2-generational teams
– leading
– productivity
– motivation
– rewards/incentives
– etc

2) types of conflicts that arise between these 2 generations at work
– communication
– expectations
– work ethics
– motivators
– willingness to collaborate
– appreciation of differences (tolerance??)
– etc

3) impact of cross-gen conflict at work
– productivity
– communication
– teams
– competition
– leadership
– etc

If I”m close, then your topic seems way too complicated to me.
I”d suggest narrowing even further.
Select one of these as your area…

Not sure what Dr. Rivera suggests, but that”s where I”d want to go.
And I”d try to make the Guam connection for these 2 generations.
