Global talent management: A life cycle view of the interaction between human and social capital

摘要

We present a theoretical model that describes the interaction between social and human capital and the different forms that such an interaction may take - positive and negative. Extending the concepts of stocks and flows of knowledge, this model evaluates social capital flows against human capital stocks. When we compare these flows to the value of human capital, we are able to better understand how these resources can interact with each other, influence global talent development, and change over time. We discuss the implications for practices in global talent management in selecting, developing, and harnessing talent.
