Environmental Variable and Global Competition for Talent : The Case of Serbia

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Many theorists argue that literature is becoming less and less relevant to the education of young managers. They believe that genuine knowledge is gained by those who "work" since modern environment imposes global business which changes the traditional approach to education. Companies strive to expand their operations abroad, manage "talent" in a more strategic way and change traditional bureaucratic structures. Business communications is becoming intercultural, virtual and horizontal. The situation poses a dilemma- Does the literature appropriately follow these changes? In fact, bridging the gap of academic approach, that is, theory and practice–is the way to create a high-quality manager in the business world.
The essential question is- Why does the gap exist? In fact, several studies have shown that managers rarely publish their business practices that can be analyzed from theoretical aspects as well and become useful for the future generations of managers. Some say that is because managers and theoreticians observe the problem from different aspects. Whatever the reason is, if the scholars do researches for themselves, there is the danger that the researches will exclude real world of business. In today's business world where changes are rapid, large and unpredictable, it seems more important than ever for academics to bridge the gap and establish cooperation with the people from practice. The reasons for this are very clear. Firstly, business people, that is, practitioners, can benefit from the theoretical knowledge management. Secondly, scientists will conduct better researches and convey the required knowledge to students and provide them with better understanding of the modern business environment and actions faced by practitioners. And thirdly, bridging this gap is likely to increase our credibility with the business community. The purpose of this research is to provide a brief overview of the forces that shape the environment, including changes that are manifested in the governance of business systems, but in the first place in human resource management.
