Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary Global Talent seeks to examine the utility of skilled foreigners beyond their human capital value by focusing on their social capital potential, especially their role as transnational bridges between host and home countries. Gi-Wook Shin and Joon Nak Choi build on an emerging stream of research that conceptualizes global labor mobility as a positive-sum game in which countries and businesses benefit from building ties across geographic space, rather than the zero-sum game implied by the ""global war for talent"" and ""brain drain"" metaphors. The book empirically demonstrates its thesis by exam.
