Integrating global mobility and global talent management: Exploring the challenges and strategic opportunities

Collings, David G. orcid logoORCID: 0000-0003-1252-7080 (2014) Integrating global mobility and global talent management: Exploring the challenges and strategic opportunities. Journal of World Business, 49 (2). pp. 253-261. ISSN 1090-9516

Abstract
Although global mobility represents an important element of many multinational enterprise's (MNEs) global talent management systems, the two areas of practice have largely been decoupled in research and practice. The current paper aims to build a dialog around the integration of these two important areas of practice and illustrate how the integration of global mobility and global talent management can contribute to the success of the MNE. Human capital and social capital theories are introduced as theoretical frames for the integration of the two areas and global talent pools and routines for managing global staffing flows are introduced as key organizational routines that can maximize the contribution of global mobility to the MNE. The paper also considers challenges and opportunities for the integration of mobility and talent and outlines some directions for future study.
