This integrative review synthesises two decades of research on talent in multinational subsidiaries and maps that literature onto a human-capital-resources emergence framework.
The authors refine talent classifications (combining staffing origin – headquarters-assigned vs. locally hired – with nationality), trace how individual KSAOs and social interactions form four types of subsidiary-level human capital resources, and propose a clear future research agenda to guide scholars and practitioners alike.
