<i>'This very important book, edited by Yipeng Liu, explores the issues surrounding talent management in a global context, from international work arrangements to managing expatriates to corporate governance to the changing role of the manager and the ''global war for talent''.'</i><br /> --Professor Sir Cary Cooper, University of Manchester, UK<p><i>'An excellent aid for anyone seeking to better understand the importance of talent and how flows of human capital will shape future development. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the text provides a unique systematic analysis of the theory, practice, and impacts of talent management.'</i><br /> --Wang Huiyao, President, Centre for China and Globalization (CCG) and Counselor for China State Council</p><p><i>'It takes an international and interdisciplinary perspective on talent management across a wide range of empirical contexts. Different kinds of talent and talent management systems are explored across different national cultures, industry sectors and organisational functions. The contributors also look at different kinds of organisations, from entrepreneurial start-ups and creative design firms to expatriate-staffed subsidiaries and public sector organisations. Comparisons within and across these organisational types then reveal a wide variety of approaches to a common goal; to attract, keep and deploy talent for the good of the organisation.'</i><br /> --Simon Collinson, University of Birmingham, UK</p>
