It comprises a conceptual analysis as well as a case study of selected Zambian companies. The main area of focus is how organisations define talent within the framework of knowledge management and how these concepts are used as initiatives to contribute to the effectiveness of staff in an organisation. Chapter One is an introduction of the concept talent management and sets out the research framework for this thesis. Chapter Two covers the literature review. It details views on talent and various schools of thought on talent management as well as the relationship between talent management and knowledge management. Chapter Three situates an overview of talent in the context of knowledge management theories and investigates how the initiatives enable the flourishing of knowledge in an organisation. Chapter Four investigates the notions of talent in a selection of large Zambian organisations with respect to their policies and practices relating to talent management. Chapter Five presents the conclusion drawn from the research literature review and the ideal notions of talent in various organisations in Zambia. | |
