This article proposes a conceptual model to explore the effects of intergenerational transition in individualism/collectivism orientations on the outlook towards different human resource development (HRD) and management practices. It contributes to the existing cross‐cultural research in HRD by defining three prominent generations in India and by proffering a comparative cross‐cultural study of the effect of generations on individualism/collectivism orientations and preferences for human resource practices in India and the United States.
