Talent Management in Higher Education
Tungkol sa ebook na ito
Up until now Talent Management (TM) in higher education institutes has received limited academic attention. This diverse collection offers a thoughtful overview of how talent is defined in higher education; the implementation of TM practices; how this is perceived by employees; and its impact on academic performance. Talent Management in Higher Education uses a multi-level and multi-actor perspective and positions the contemporary TM issues of universities in the broader institutional context in which universities are constituted and the historical developments regarding HRM and TM policies.
Both scholars and practitioners will appreciate the insights into the issues of different academic systems, increasing the readers awareness of the contextual relevance of talent management. All chapters in the book are written by scholars who are expert on research in talent management or in Higher Education, but who are also insiders in the academic community. Through their personal expertise they mirror academia as a research object.
