Dr Marian Crowley-Henry, Maynooth University School of Business lecturer in Human Resource Management, has published a new article, together with her colleague Professor Akram Al Ariss from Toulouse Business School, France in the International Journal of Human Resource Management. The article is entitled: “Talent management of skilled migrants: Propositions and an agenda for future research”.
The article unpacks the dominant conceptualisations of talent management (TM) in contemporary academic publications, and considers these in relation to the increasingly important workforce population of skilled international migrants. It postulates that TM approaches are generally built from a relatively narrow human capital-based perspective wherein organisations focus on readily accessible and immediate skills, ignoring the longer term strategic potential of the international workforce of skilled migrants, particularly for multinational enterprises and other international organisations.
