It is a powerful and invaluable contribution to the discourse on manpower development in all kinds of organizations around the world. Both scholars and management professionals will find it a useful companion.' - Matt Mogekwu, Ph.D., Chair , Journalism Department, Ithaca College, NY 'This book is an irresistible call on us all to share new creative ideas on Talent Management. As the discipline (of TM) is fast becoming an essential component of HR strategy, I find the book most useful in examining associated limitations of the established best practices in talent management while it heralds fresh vistas for more progressive strategy appreciation and development.' - Jude Iyitor, HR Director, Whassan Eurest Nigeria Ltd 'This book's central proposition is that there is a right mindset and approach that enterprise leaders should adopt in managing their organizations' talent in order to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage in the marketplace. The author's lucidity makes the well researched content compelling for Human Capital Management practitioners as well as business leaders who want to leverage an appropriate talent management strategy for competitive advantage. The context in which the content is situated makes its reading a contemporary imperative, given the forays that enterprises from the developing world and emerging markets are making and will continue to make at the world stage.' - Emmanuel Imafidon, Director Business Services, Chevron Nigeria Limited;
