Book excerpt: The knowledge economy conjures a world of smart people, in smart jobs, doing smart things, in smart ways, for smart money, a world increasingly open to all rather than a few. Glossy corporate brochures present a future in challenging, exciting and financially rewarding jobs for the winners in the competition for fast track management appointments. They also convey an image of enlightened employers actively seeking to diversify their talent pool, reflected in their approach toidentifying, hiring and retaining outstanding talent.We are told that the challenge confronting governments around the world is to enhance the employability of the workforce. Every effort must be made to expand access to higher education, dismantle barriers to talent regardless of social circumstances, gender, or skin colour, and to harness human creativity and enterprise to meet the demands of the new economy.The Mismanagement of Talent comes to a different conclusion. Those leaving the world of mass higher education find themselves in a scramble for jobs with rising stakes for the winners and losers. The Mismanagement of Talent examines what determines the outcome of this race when a degree loses its badge of distinction. It shows how some graduates are playing 'the game' to win a competitive advantage and what really happens in the selection events of leading-edge employers. It also argues thattalent is being mismanaged by employers that have yet to come to terms with the realities and possibilities of mass higher education.The Mismanagement of Talent will be thought-provoking and controversial reading for those involved in the recruitment of graduates, and those concerned with the way knowledge-based firms recruit and the impact of higher education policy:Professionals working in university careers services, HRM, training, or recruitment generally; Researchers, academics, or students of Business and Management, Human Resource Management, Public Policy, Education, or Sociology; and Job candidates themselves - the 'players' and 'purists' described in the book.

Book excerpt: Nowadays, organisations are confronted with the imperative to enhance their organisational sustainability. This involves establishing an appropriate balance between the economic, ecological, and social aspects of an organisation's operations and striving to accomplish their economically viable goals that are both socially and environmentally responsible. By aligning the priorities and incorporating environmental, social, and economic factors into their operational strategies, organisations can generate value for themselves, while also making a positive impact on the current and future welfare of society and the environment. Noticeably, the advancement of organisational sustainability relies heavily on human capital management in the workplace. Today, more than ever, human capital is regarded as the foundation of organisations and ought to be treated as such. Given the pivotal role of human capital management for ensuring the long-term organisational sustainability of an organisation, emphasis should be placed on redefining leadership strategies and priorities, focusing on diversity and inclusion, cultivating talent, facilitating remote work, fostering employee engagement, promoting skill development for environmentally friendly practices, and prioritising job satisfaction and employee well-being. In response to the multi-faceted challenges of the third decade of the 21st century, this book provides an in-depth review of research avenues addressing present and future human capital development concerns in terms of enhancing organisation sustainability. The main aim of the book is to indicate the direction of demand for new competences regarding workplace human capital and identify synergies between its particular aspects with reference to contemporary human capital development. The monograph’s objectives include presenting tools that allow the analysis and development of human capital competences, pro-active and pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours, the coexistence of workers and AI in the organisation, as well as providing employee well-being, satisfaction, and commitment. Moreover, the book offers recommendations for contemporary responsible organisations that carry themselves towards the new economic and social order and sustainability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Losing top talent can cost businesses big money. The ability to identify and nurture talent is a trait that is shared by the market leading brands (such as Innocent and Virgin) featured as case studies in this book. A common misconception is that attracting and retaining talented staff is all about offering an attractive salary. But although pay is one of the leading motivators for choosing a job, learning and development opportunities and employer perceptions play an increasingly important role.As well as adding to the debate on the 'war on talent', Thorne and Pellant present the latest best-practice thinking about becoming an employer of choice. Written in an accessible easy-to-follow style, this essential guide is a comprehensive introduction to talent management. It enables readers to quickly make sense of the term 'employer branding' and demonstrates how to apply it in order to become an attractive employer.

This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical realism has become increasingly important in the way organization and management is studied. This innovative book argues for an alternative to the prevailing ontology, and shows how positivism and its empirical realist ontology can be abandoned without having to accept strong social constructionism. Critical Realist Applications in Organisation and Management Studies applies critical realism in four ways. First, in the removal of meta-theoretical obstacles that hinder the development of fruitful theoretical and empirical work. Second and third, as a meta-theoretical tool with which to develop appropriate methodological and theoretical frameworks which can then be used to inform appropriate empirical work, and finally, all of this is applied across a broad range of subject areas including critical management studies, accountancy, marketing, health care management, operations research, the nature of work, human resource management, labour process theory, regional analysis, and work and labour market studies. Ideal for postgraduates and professionals, this key book will be a valuable resource across a wide range of subjects.
