Many business leaders, practitioners and academicians attach great value to talent and talent management (TM), but there is still little known about how (and how well) TM really works in practice, especially in a higher education system. In addition, current assumptions, viewpoints and actions appear to be based on a narrow and biased TM ‘paradigm’. The primary focus of the present study is to explore the need for talent management system in Indian higher education system. The paper considers key issues and challenges related to quality of faculty and explores the ways in which a talent management system can be used as a strategy to attract and retain talented faculty. Considering the competitive global market, there is animmediate need to improve the talent management practices to attract, select, develop and retain the talented faculty. Being producers of knowledge in a knowledge economy, higher education institutions are expected to value Talent Management which would not only improve the quality of faculty but also help in gaining a competitive advantage. The study explores the thrust and initiative of talent management in academics.
