Summary
Talent management is 'the hot topic' for HR managers and chief executives in organizations today.

This book offers new insights into these key areas by drawing on a range of in-depth case studies which are presented in full. Commentary is provided to help the reader draw the most relevant examples for them, and a guide to developing a talent management system is presented through the identification of a number of strategic perspectives, and operational dimensions that put this into practice. This book is a must for anyone responsible for managing talented individuals in their organization
