The Challenges of Changing Business Needs For Talent: A Systematic Literature Review

The purpose of this paper is to systematically review talent management literatures in today`s changing business environment with the aim of summarizing the current academic and practitioners' discourses.This study provides a systematic review of qualitative and theoretical literatures from both academic and practitioners' spheres from 2008 to 2021 and utilized 29 relevant publications that fall within the established criteria.The review highlighted talent management issues in today`s environment.Most publications did not employ scientific methods but are a kind of theoretical (positional and literature review) in nature.In those publications, three main themes-challenges, new strategies and new models were explored and possible limitations were discussed.Though new strategies (i.e.mitigation and Contingency strategies) and models (i.e. the CP-TSCM model) have been attempted, they lack appropriate empirical support and most of them had emerged in the practitioners' world and didn`t pass through peer review.Thus, we call for more comprehensive research.
