Chapter 1: Investigating the Role of Disinformation on GTM Activities

Global talent management (GTM) is a key area concerned with a set of international human resource management (IHRM) activities by a multinational organisation. This applies to organisations in all industries. When engaging in such activities, senior and HR administrative staff consider external factors such as cultural and regulatory factors, in the nation where the organisation operates. This consideration represents an information flow from the external world into the decision-making body of the organisation. Disinformation can impact this information flow and influence decision-making. This chapter will explore the question of how global talent managers and IHRM in Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) can identify and address disinformation in their GTM activities. Conceptual analysis is developed and discussed in this chapter.
