Talent Management could very soon replace traditional

Human Resource Management within companies. This book

explores this new concept and questions the progressive drift

from one notion to the other. Talent is a unique combination

of various outstanding skills. Companies are doing their best

to attract, retain and make talents effective in the turbulent

context of business in a global economy. The book provides

the cultural and business context of "talent". After exploring

what talent management concretely means in terms of

policies and practices, the HR professional and the scholar

will have a clear picture of the potential opportunities and

limits of talent management.
