title = "Building Micro-foundations for Talent Management",
abstract = "This chapter provides a mapping of conceptual boundaries using a micro-foundational approach. It uses this mapping as a diagnostic tool to help the reader identify some of the key but under-researched issues that future research in important field must explore. The chapter begins by defining TM and reviewing the basic logic behind the arguments of micro-foundations. It illustrates that the key state-of-the-art discussions in TM are currently happening at a number of different levels. The chapter argues that discussions will benefit from explicating underlying mechanisms at the individual level. The focus on talent pools calls for a move from vacancy led recruitment toward “recruiting ahead of the curve”. Micro-foundations have been an important theme in management research and can be seen as an instance of “reductionism”. Theoretically, the HR process literature might represent a useful lens through which to explore questions in the context of TM.",
