Global talent management in the “new normal”—Editors' special issue introduction

Abstract

The notion of a global workforce, made up of diverse, educated, and mobile workforces spread around the world, and the topic of talent management has been the subject of extensive research in the field of international human resource management (Amankwah-Amoah, 2020; Tarique & Schuler, 2010). The cross-border mobility of skilled professionals and the mutual recognition of educational qualifications and experience have been drivers for transferring knowledge within Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) global networks. This transfer is facilitated through the use of expatriates and inpatriates by the MNEs (Shao & Al Ariss, 2020), who relocate to fill knowledge gaps in the organization.
