The war for talents, a false good idea
COMPANIES DO NOT OWN THEIR TALENTS
In a society with an inverted demographic pyramid, accelerating technology and where the younger generations (and more) are profoundly changing their relationship to work, the shortage and obsolescence of talent is a major concern for many companies.
