The second edition of Global Talent Management (GTM) offers a state-of-the-art overview of
the key areas of talent management in theory and practice. Drawing on contributions from the
leading global contributors to talent management research, the book is structured around three
key sections. Section one provides a contextual overview of talent management. The second
section explores in depth some of the core areas of GTM practice, which includes the meaning
of talent in the global context, internal talent identification, developing leadership talent,
employee turnover, employer branding and the role of the corporate HR function in GTM. The
final section considers three key contemporary issues in GTM, namely, data analytics in GTM,
managing virtual talent and managing globally diverse talent.
The chapters in the volume provide advanced undergraduate or postgraduate students with
an interest in global talent management with a cutting-edge overview of the key topics in the
field. It is also an invaluable resource for the reflective practitioner looking for an overview of
key research in this important area of practice.
