Abstract: Generation Y is the subject of numerous speeches in public, particularly in relation to the work, the expectations and behaviors in the organisation. Current management is surprised by the integration of these young people in the work environment. The solution of integration of these young people would be, as most specialists appreciate, in an management “between generations” to adapt their practices to the specific characteristics of each generation, an evolving technological environment and its ways of organizing work to reach for the model enterprise 2.0, according to the allegedly logic of action of youth. But this solution transfers a large part of the problem within the scope of knowledge management. This paper analyzes the new studies that were concerned with the need for the integration of young people who belong to generation Y in enterprises and the impact of this integration to achieve a new stage in the development of knowledge management that will increase organizational performance. The chosen research methodology is qualitative, imposed by the chosen issue and incorporeal nature phenomena to be observed; more precisely by identifying how the knowledge transfer occurs between generations within SMEs.
