Book Description
The microscope on talent is in sharp focus and HR has more programmes and processes to manage talent than ever before. Yet many CEOs continue to see talent management as an escalating risk. The truth is that market realities across the world are so fundamentally different that one size solutions almost never succeed.
Talent Economics is a refreshingly new, outside-in view on talent, which brings workforce analysis, management practice and strategy together. It uses economic inquiry as a discipline to present a brand new perspective in talent management – as simply put – economics is the study of how the forces of supply and demand allocate scarce resources. Talent Economics presents business leaders an opportunity to step back and understand the ebb and flow of global talent, before translating this new understanding into a winning strategy.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Talent Economics is a very intuitive book, which makes for a very easy and enjoyable read. Full of rich knowledge as well as sound advice, it is something most managers should keep within reach.”,
Sheetal Singh, Assistant Professor of Management, George Washington University“Covers trends across countries with respect to corporate governance, economic development, population growth fertility rates, gender and age, and educational assessment. These macro talent considerations add perspective to corporate decision making. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate students through faculty, researchers, and professionals.”,
CHOICE“This book will be particularly valued by those working in multi-cultural and multi-national enterprises. It looks at both broad concepts and ideas and gets into the detail of tackling the issues.”,
Christopher Bennett, Director, BPA Australasia & Board Member, Center for Non-Profit Leadership“In a perpetual global war for talent, it is easy to get lost in the daily skirmishes. In Talent Economics, Gyan Nagpal accomplishes two rare things: it provides a global battle plan and the specific tactics that can translate into success in today’s high growth markets. Truly, this book is an important addition to the talent conversation.”,
