The Problem In recent years, as India started to emerge as the IT (information technology) super power and the supplier for human capital trained in IT to the Western world, a plethora of talent management and development issues have started coming to the surface. Given the vastness of India’s young and diverse human resources, the concerns center less around availability of talent and more around managing and developing the available talent to suit local needs. Furthermore, concerns are raised over excessive reliance on Western models of TD/TM (talent development/talent management) in Indian organizations and their implementation without significant adaptation to local cultural and institutional conditions. The Solution This study explores TD/TM strategies in three different business organizations using the case study method. The three organizations are a multinational corporation headquartered in India, a foreign multinational organization with subsidiaries in India, and a smaller local business organization. The article discusses (a) the commonalities and differences in the TD/TM strategies followed by three different types of organizations, (b) the use of home-grown strategies and strategies borrowed from the West, (c) the trends and challenges of TM/TD practices facing the IT industry.

Our study examines how talent management affects both job satisfaction and employee retention at a public university in Egypt. The sample for the field study consists of a 105 administrative employees who work at Ain Shams University (a public university). The study instrument is a questionnaire that consists of four parts: talent management, job satisfaction, employee retention and the sample’s demographic variables. The study uses Cronbach’s Alpha, Ordinary Least Squares Regressions and the Kruskal-Wallis test. We find that the components of talent management (motivating outstanding performance, training and development, job enrichment) have a significant impact on job satisfaction and on employee retention but have no significant impact on the sample’s demographic variables (gender, age, education and experience). The contribution of the study is to examine how talent management affects job satisfaction and employee retention in a higher educational institution in Egypt, an Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern country. Talent management research in Arab/Muslim countries, such as Egypt, remains mostly unexamined. By researching new countries and regions, we can help provide further insight for organizations on how to adapt their talent management practices to fit different national and cultural contexts.

Employee Retention is the biggest challenge that Human Resource Management is facing today. The uncertainty of a changing economy, increasing competition and diversity in the workplace have compelled the organisations to hold on to their top performers at whatever cost they have to pay. It is a very difficult task for the recruiters to hire professionals with right skills set all over again. Thus the focus has shifted from ‘numbers' to ‘quality’ and from ‘recruitment’ to ‘retention.’ Many organisational human resource management practices play dominant role in building employee commitment and loyalty. Out of the plentiful practices, the procurement practice facilitates the entry of an employee in an organisation. Hence keeping in view the significance of this function, the researchers have ventured to investigate the influence of procurement practices on employees ‘retention intentions in the Indian IT industry. This paper studies the influence of organisational procurement practices on employee retention intentions on the basis of personal and positional variables of employees. It also examines the variations in the corporate perception on the procurement practices as a retention tool for IT Personnel.
