Why is it important?

This study frames the extent and nature of empirical research on TM, and it is the first to specifically and objectively examine the advances made in the field and to identify underexplored areas. By doing so, it helps to avoid departing from presumptions and misguided beliefs, to advance our knowledge of TM issues in organizations and regions, and to better channel future research. The paper gives vision and direction to practitioners in particular on the definition of talent and TM.

Perspectives

It is a systematic review that offers a great insight of the empirical literature on TM. It is worth to read it to understand a little bit more on the advances made in the field.
