This issue of CBR is grounded in the double loop of influence between IT and behavior as it relates to Gen Y. We asked our contributors to discuss this deeply rooted connection and to provide us with insight and guidelines on how we can successfully integrate the members of this new generation into our organizations. I am hopeful that after having read both of their pieces you feel more confident and optimistic about the opportunities that can accompany Gen Y's imminent entry into your IT shops and, more generally, your organizations.
