I am interested in publications on the impact of being young when starting a business and gaining clients; such as not being taken serious or the opposite of being seen as better than older entrepreneurs offering a service / product.
I see that directly as ageism, which is not judging the product/service. Therefore, discrimination under the law of equality and diversity. How did I do?
Your question has a very important aspect in itself in which you'll find that diversity in the HR is very considerable. Kindly note that in the today dynamic works you need to employ several teams to achieve organizational objectives. We can use the "Young Energy" beside the "Old experiments". As the education, sex, and skill are important in a team creation then the age is important two. Actually those countries/organizations are successful who are active in team-work activities.
thank you for the answer and reminder to look wider in findings on organisational studies. in the meantime, I have found an interesting article on discourses of age in Organizational Studies.
