Millennials and Generation X (Gen-X) are the fastest-growing market segment in Indonesia. The study aims to discover the salient values of those generations and to investigate their value differences. Data were obtained via questionnaires from 200 respondents of each generation. The questionnaires measure the importance of the values of each generation, consisting of nine values from the List of Values established by Kahle (1986), namely Sense of belonging, Excitement, Being well respected, Fun and enjoyment, Security, Self-fulfillment, Self-respect, Warm relationships with others, and Sense of accomplishment. This study employed factor analysis to identify sets of values representing their underlying values. This method resulted in three inherent values of Gen X and two of Millenials. Gen X shows the importance of Achievement, Family enjoyment, and Social relationship. Meanwhile, the Millennials are conspicuous by the values of Social recognition and Self-pleasing. Companies that choose Gen X as their target market can use their above-mentioned values to be expressed in their marketing strategies. Meanwhile, those who choose Millennials may use the two inherent values of this generation. This study fills a research gap on the characters of the emerging young generation segments in the country that can be adopted to generate market segment characters in the country.

The article presents comprehensive approach to ensuring the effective formation of the information process of industrial enterprise management. It is proposed to use scenario planning technology, which will allow considering the activity of an enterprise and its information processes in the context of several development scenarios. The paper substantiates the theoretical and methodological provisions for determining the factors ensuring the effectiveness of the formation of the information process of managing an industrial enterprise. The factors determining the effectiveness of the formation of the information process of managing an industrial enterprise are determined on the basis of the principal component method, which allows to determine the most informative indicators for further analysis and formation of the information array of the management process. It has been proved that regardless of the scenario of the development of an enterprise, the list of factors ensuring the effectiveness of the formation of information processes for managing an industrial enterprise (using the engineering industry as an example) remains unchanged, but depending on the development scenario, the priorities of the company’s management change.
