Reviews
“Billy Adamsen’s book, Demystifying Talent Management is an important contribution to critical debates and reflections of the role of talent in modern management thinking, for example in sport and business. … Adamsen’s book is a very well written and important piece of work. Its theoretical discussions of the talent term is appreciated seen in the perspective of an unreflective use of this term in many contexts of talent management and development.” (Inge Kryger Pedersen, idrottsforum.org, June, 2016)
- Peter Cappelli, George W. Taylor Professor of Management and Director, Center for Human Resources at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia
'This is an authoritative and timely analysis of the idea of 'talent'. Drawing on a range of managerial, sociological and philosophical concepts, the author builds a profound critique of the role of 'talent' in modern management thinking, and exposes its shortcomings, as well as providing a way forward for organisations to successfully acquire the key skills and abilities that they need. Dr. Adamsen's text should be on the desk of every chief executive and every HR manager.'- Paul Griseri, Managing Editor "Philosophy of Management' and Director of MBA Programmes, Middlesex University, UK
