"Our understanding of talent management has advanced considerably over the past decade. In Talent Management: A Research Overview, McDonnell and Wiblen skillfully navigate this growing literature base and provide a timely overview on the state of research on talent management. The result is a succinct and highly accessible review of the key questions underpinning our understanding of talent management. It will be a valuable resource to scholars and reflective practitioners alike."

"Talent management continues to grow in importance in academic research, but what is it? What exactly do we know about managing talent? These two major questions guide this excellent work by McDonnell and Wiblen. The authors do an superb job in addressing key themes and arguments, evidence of efficacy, trends, and likely future trajectories. This succinct book is THE 'pocket guide' to talent management!"
