本文研究了全球经济衰退期间科技型企业的全球人才管理（GTM）。文献的资源为基础的观点，最适合的角度和资源依赖理论是用来框架的定性研究9个全球制药公司，探讨如何多个演员在全球经济衰退期间查看GTM。该研究调查了行为者如何看待公司在经济衰退期间的战略优先事项;调整GTM以解决这些优先事项的挑战;高层管理人员在支持GTM投资方面的价值以及在协调和控制GTM过程中遇到的挑战。研究结果显示，参与者认为GTM具有战略重要性，因为它使公司能够同时管理裁员，扩张和结构调整，并帮助他们为未来的增长做好准备。在全球经济衰退期间，跨国公司通过更多地使用结构性报告、总部和地区总部更多地参与子公司人才决策、网络和认知控制战略，对GTM进行控制和协调。本文最后确定了今后在这一问题上的研究方向。
This paper investigates global talent management (GTM) in science-based firms during the global downturn. Literature on the resource-based view, the best-fit perspective and resource dependency theory is used to frame a qualitative study of nine global pharmaceutical firms that explores how multiple actors view GTM during the global downturn. The study investigates how actors perceive the strategic priorities of the firm during the downturn; the challenges of aligning GTM to address these priorities; the values of top management in supporting investment in GTM and the challenges encountered in coordinating and controlling GTM processes. The findings reveal that actors considered GTM to be strategically important because it enabled firms to simultaneously manage downsizing, expansion and structural alignment, and it helped them to prepare for growth in the future. Multi national companies exercised control and coordination of GTM during the global downturn through increased use of structural reporting, greater involvement of headquarter (HQ) and regional HQ in subsidiary talent decisions, networking and cognitive control strategies. The paper concludes by identifying direction for future research on this topic.
