Talent management also is a new concept appearing to the ground since 2000s (Armstrong, 2005). According to (Armstrong, 2005), talent management can be defined as “ the use of an integrated set of activities to ensure that the organization attracts, retains, motivates and develops the talented people it needs now and in the future”.

Key Resourcing Areas:

      To begin with, it is important to analyze the case study comprehensively based on theoretical as well as practitioner evidences in order to end up with a conclusion based on different scientific point of views. In theory, People resourcing and talent management are interrelated, in which each one has an impact among each other and to an organization as a whole. People resourcing is the key factor behind the success of an organization, because it brings skilled, experienced and capable employees and maintains the success by implementing such appraisal systems (Armstrong, 2005). In addition, people resourcing consists of staffing, performance, administration, and change management (Iles, 2011). Staffing is all about recruitment and selection, retention, and dismissal while performance is consisting of appraisal and management appraisal (Iles, 2011). Adding to that and according to (Iles, 2011), the administration factor is totally related to policy development, procedure development, and documentation. On the other hand, change management can be done through a comprehensive understanding of the importance of the available resourcing and how it can be used wisely.
