People resourcing and talent planning : HRM in practice / Stephen Pilbeam and Marjorie Corbridge.

For the fourth edition, the HR lexicon has changed again and the terms Talent Management and Talent Planning are now common parlance. Our overall approach reflects our experience as HR practitioners as well as HR teachers, and we are evidently straddling the practitioner academic divide we get compliments and criticisms from both camps.
