Talent management by Ismail, Fadillah, Rashid, Umi Kartini, Ahmad, Zanariah, al Hosain, Adnan Ali Hassan, Mohd Rosli, Nur Amalina

“…Notwithstanding, the writing underlines that a "working definition" of the term is missing, where in a hierarchical setting, the term is characterized variously (Lewis & Heckman 2006), and this has made it hard to pick the "right" definition (Tansley, 2011). So as to legitimately characterize ability in an authoritative setting, and as per the target of this examination, three definitions were perceived as fitting:…”
