Winning the war for talent

As knowledge becomes a more and
more valuable component in the
economy, employers are doing all they
can to retain their top performers
and to develop the talents of the new
generation. However, finders of talent
are not always keepers of talent.

Business principles

Just good business

In the new age of globalised
business, companies are having
to be more forthright about their
activities and more attentive to the
impacts that they are having on
ecosystems, on the environment and
on society in general. Corporate Social
Responsibility has become the modern
corporate mantra and the focus has
switched from how well a corporation
is performing in financial terms to how
much good it is doing as a corporate
citizen. page 41

Accessing and securing resources is

becoming a major strategic concern
for businesses all over the world. But
the impact of how such increasingly
valuable resources are used has wider
implications that go far beyond the
business community or the boardroom,
affecting society as a whole. page 73
