- Title
'Talent-Innate or Acquired? Theoretical Considerations and Their Implications for Talent Management'.
- Authors

- Abstract
In this paper there is an important question around the meaning of the term 'talent' with a particular focus on the extent to which talent is an innate construct (nature), mostly acquired (nurture), or more based on an interaction of the two. The paper is well motivated and it is a truism that heretofore the literature on talent management has largely neglected the discussion of this important micro level question. Indeed, the focus of extant work has been on the systems and processes of talent management (Boudreau and Ramstad, 2007; Collings and Mellahi, 2009; Farndale et al, 2010; McDonnell et al, 2010; Schuler et al, 2011; Tarique et al, 2010; Vaiman et al, 2012) and the management of star employees (Groysberg, 2010). Indeed, it appears that as a field talent management shares similarities with the literature on strategic human resource management (HRM) in this regard. As Wright and McMahon (2011) recently noted-strategic HRM research has largely focused on the practices that impact human capital rather than the human capital itself.
