Great, a third paper got accepted at the International Human Ressource Management Conference in Aston. The topic was International Talent Management – Tentative Implications from Cultural Background and Cultural Intelligence and here is the abstract:

Talent management reveals potential talents, trains them and keeps them at a company, however in a globalized world the cultural factor is disregarded. Talents will be generalized on grades and experience, but not on their cultural background. However we will shortly review talent man- agement and afterwards look into the cultural diversity and its beneficial influence on team per- formance and thereby probably beneficial for talent management. If we integrate the cultural background and the cultural intelligence into talent management, it should be possible to find even more fitting talents and keep them in the company with less incentives, as they found a fit- ting job to their cultural environment, additional to their eagerness of performing well. The cul- tural background directly influences the recruiting process and the cultural intelligence directly the human resource development. This paper shows that cultural background and cultural intelli- gence seem to have implications of talent management, especially on recruiting and training.
