1805: Global Talent Management in the Era of De-Globalization: Consequences for Innovation, Policy, Purpose (10380)

Global Talent Management (GTM) continues to be of top concern for organizations and their leadership. Yet, as organizations wrestle with talent requirements for international business priorities, they must also adapt their talent strategies and practices to the current macro trend of slowing globalization, also referred to as de-globalization or "slowbalization" (Ghauri, Strange, & Cooke, 2021). This symposium explores the consequences of the current macro trend of de- globalization to identify directions for future research in GTM and implications for management GTM practice. Presenters will consider the evolving macro-contextual factors that shape GTM outcomes. MTM describes the macro-level talent systems that exist nationally and globally (Khilji, Tarique & Schuler 2015) and provides a valuable lens through which to understand the dynamic nature and consequences of deglobalization on the global management of talent. In keeping with this year’s Academy Meeting theme, Innovating for the Future, presenters explore the the dynamic influence of the evolving macro talent context of de-globalization and its consequences and opportunities for global talent management and how these shape and re- shape innovation, policy, and purpose. Compelling questions, insights, and opportunities for future research are presented. This symposium builds on a series of GTM and MTM symposiums presented at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting in recent successive years, supporting scholars of GTM and MTM to continue to develop their work and the fields.
