Abstract
In an ongoing “war for talent”, emerging market companies incessantly look for additional sources of competitive advantage that would help them in attracting, developing and retaining the most qualified and skilled workers. As they operate in conditions of acrimonious competition, the development of absorptive capacity, or the ability to effectively acquire, assimilate, transform and exploit valuable internal and external knowledge, becomes a critical factor in their long-term competitiveness. Most scholars agree that absorptive capacity capabilities provide firms with the strategic flexibility to adapt within different contexts by enhancing their receptivity to evaluating valuable external knowledge and further effectively utilizing such knowledge to gain short-term gains. As talented employees are the ones who possess valuable knowledge and skills, as well as the ability to continuously enhance their knowledge for the creation and implementation of innovative ideas and products, absorptive capacity should be investigated through the lens of talent management. Therefore, this research aims to identify the interrelationships between talent attraction, development and retention practices, absorptive capacity and performance of Brazilian, Russian and Chinese companies.
