"An important and uniquely evidence-based guide to talent management in emerging markets, the unmatched credentials of the Editors and the impressive array of country experts make for an insightful, practical and intriguing set of perspectives on the vital talent management developments in these important countries."John W. Boudreau, Professor of Management and Organization, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, USA"As countries become ever more interdependent and as MNEs attempt to manage talent around the world, decision makers need synthesized, country-level information about government policies, institutions, and the processes that firms use to manage talent. This book is a great place to start."Wayne F. Cascio, Distinguished Professor, University of Colorado, USA, and Robert H. Reynolds Chair in Global Leadership, University of Colorado Denver, USA"The debate on talent management continues apace. Its exposition at the macro level serves as a powerful contextualization mechanism and underscores the importance of a ‘levels of analysis’ approach. Doing so in the specific case of emerging and emergent markets lays bare the capacities and the constraints that are operating in these dynamic territories as they pursue vigorous developmental trajectories against the backdrop of diverse endowments.
