Talent has been identified as the only differentiator for an
organization's, nations' or any region's success in this uncertain,
complex, competitive and global environment. Ulrich (2008) defined
talent as the equation of 3Cs: Talent = Competence x Commitment x
Contribution. Malaeb and Chanaron (2010, p. 2), noted "Competence
means that employees have the skills and abilities today and in the
future for required business results. ... Commitment means that
employees are involved and engaged ... while Contribution means
that employees find personal abundance at occupation ..." While
Ulrich (2008) observed that commitment focused on meaning and
identity and other restraints that tap employee's heart. This book
is unique in many ways, which makes it extraordinary. First, unlike
other books that have examined issues of change facing the global
economy no book has examined the issue of talent development from
the perspective of special interest groups including management
international students, women refugees, refugees, non?governmental
organizations, for profit, for benefit and nonprofit organizations.
Thus, talent development world over has become one of the most
important issues when it comes to developing human resources
especially through education and training. The book presents
pertinent research and practice on talent development management
and argues that the term talent development broadly refers to
management and development of high performing and high potential
individuals in society required to carry out critical
organizational and society roles aimed at improving human
development. The contributors of the book chapters include
individuals actively involved in research, teaching and practice in
higher education and in business and industry. The chapters are
based on empirical data, including review of relevant literature.
The book also recognizes that talent development is more than just
crisis management and includes best talent management practices,
shared governance, meaningful reforms, strategic planning,
transparency and accountability, social justice and respect for
human life and the need to develop humane organizations and humane
communities. The contributions take cognizance of the fact that
talent development as a concept is facing fundamental changes in
the global knowledge economy, and especially with political changes
taking place world over. Contributors also take cognizance of the
fact that one important source of change in society has been the
accelerating speed of scientific and technological advancement
driven by the power of the Internet hence the need to develop
talent for the 21st century and beyond. The book is basically an
academic book for use by undergraduates and graduate students at
universities, for?profit, for?benefit, and non?profit
organizations, policy makers and formulators in ministries of
Education; supra national organizations, foreign organizations
multilateral organizations, non?governmental organizations,
community based organizations as well as development stakeholders,
and community organizers.
