Critique of Talent Management

"The Critique of Talent Management" does not contain magic formulas or vague prescriptions, much less the frequent steps to happiness within everyone's reach. The essays and articles that make up this book focus on the impact of human performance in organisations. They critically addressthe context of human capital, in its social, structural, procedural and cultural dimensions;the work environment as a physical space for professional and personal fulfilment;conceptual ambiguity and unfounded management practices in the production of beliefs.The analyses carried out identify the conflicts created, caused or permitted by management practices that ignore the potential, desires and fears of the professionals in their organisations. After all, this is human capital. All too human.
