Dedicated to the HR community, we quarterly publish Talent Management booklet series to provide easy to understand, informative articles and real case studies. In the climate of economic globalization and rapid technological change where adaptability can really make a difference between winners and losers, it is vital for all organizations to be able to keep pace with changes. Whether businesses can maintain competitive advantage in the market greatly depends on their ability to create and innovate. As a matter of fact, creativity and innovation reflects the capacity of an organization, be it a small family business or a large multi-national corporation, being able to come up with new ideas and adapt to changing situations is all the time the key to survival.

In this issue, we have invited honorable guest speakers of the Employee Engagement Summit 2012, who are all esteemed leaders, academics and HR practitioners from best-practice organizations, to explore the topic in depth and share their unique insights into employee engagement. In addition, this issue also features the latest news of talent management and other inspiring stories of HR interest.

It is hoped that we could offer you the latest news on HR management and executive education, whilst also giving you some inspiration on managing your valuable talents as well as your own life. With this in mind, we have invited a renowned scholar in economics as well as two seasoned consultants to analyse the economic trends and employment outlook in the coming two quarters. They will also offer their insightful advice for the management and HR managers to embrace the challenges ahead.
