dc.description.abstract |
Talent Management is a relatively young field of study, and is particularly unexplored in non-profit organisations that have their main focus on knowledge. Moreover, recent findings within Talent Management show that the performance of organisations correspondsto a Pareto distribution, i.e. 80 percentof the organisational performance is produced by 20 percent of the people. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the distribution of academic outputs in terms of publications in two different universities, with one hypothesis that the outputs follow the Pareto Principle. Moreover, based on the results, suggestions on further work within Talent Management are given, taking on an inclusive approach to talent.The research includes two technical universities located in separate countries. Professors’ performance is considered as their number of publications, and data of professors’ performance was gathered from the database Scopus. The data gathering, together with a literature study on Talent Management, the Pareto Principle and University Rankings, created the basis for analysis. The results showed that a minority of professors stands for a majority of the performance. Hence, the implications for Talent Management are to focus resources on the underperforming professors to improve the academic outputs of the universities. |
