| Dear colleague:
Please, find attached the call for a Special Issue of BRQ titled "Talent Management: Quo Vadis?".
Guest editors
Michael J Morley, University of Limerick, Ireland
Mireia Valverde, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Spain
Elaine Farndale, Penn State University, USA / Tilburg University, The Netherlands
Aims and scope
The literature on talent management has been growing continuously, though to some in a somewhat haphazard way. The result is a somewhat fragmented body of knowledge which remains imprecise and characterised by a rather vague, and at the same time, appealing rhetoric. Arising from this, there have been calls for a more significant degree of critical scrutiny of the phenomenon in order that we might more fully evaluate its true value from a science-practice perspective.
Against the backdrop of these on-going debates, we invite manuscripts for this special issue which critically reflect on what has been accomplished. In adopting a more critical perspective, it is important to identify alternative approaches that can help us to understand the phenomena in question. In particular, we are interested in manuscripts that offer deeper insights on appropriate theoretical lenses that unearth the conceptual utility of talent management, along with empirical contributions that clarify and evaluate the operationalisation and the impact of talent management practices, processes and systems in a range of contexts and on different stakeholders.
Important dates
Submission deadline: August 30th, 2017.
Expected publication: December, 2018.
Submission process
Manuscripts submitted to this special issue should be prepared according to Business Research Quarterly's (BRQ) guidelines for authors. Submissions must be made online via the Elsevier Editorial System for Business Research Quarterly at http://ees.elsevier.com/brq.
