Covering key topics such as the national and organizational context of learning and talent development, concepts related to individual and organizational learning and the functions associated with managing learning and talent development in the context of professional practice, Learning and Talent Development equips individuals to meet the expectations placed upon those performing specialist roles in developing others and is therefore also ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students of human resource management or business students taking a module in human resource development or learning and development.

Review:

"I like the short case studies which allow students to focus their attention on particular concepts. The longer case studies at the end of each chapter present more complex situations which students are likely to face in professional practice." --(Alison Davies, BPP Business School, UK)

"Would I consider using this book as the core text for the Learning and Talent Development module? A categorical yes. This is a refreshing change from the other books available.The up-to-date and leading literature gives this text a great deal of academic kudos." --(Gary Rees, Portsmouth Business School, UK)

"This is an excellent textbook that adopts a critically analytical and evaluative approach that enables student and practitioners to assess both contemporary and emerging trends and issues that shape the HR agenda. Its in-depth research, critical evaluation of models, tools and theories and, the application of these in practice, supported by case study research, is absolutely invaluable for students." --(Tristan Callaghan, Senior Tutor, Acacia Learning)
