Meyers, M.C., De Boeck, G., & Dries, N. (2017). Talent or not: Reactions to talent designations. In D.G. Collings, K. Mellahi, & W.F. Cascio, eds., Oxford Handbook of Talent Management, 169-192. Oxford: Oxford University Press (provided in the "Additional materials" folder). Note: Reading Greenberg (1990) prior to this article will likely help/deepen your understanding of this chapter.

A. Provide a summary of the reading. What is the purpose of the article? Additionally, if there are key constructs/terminology (e.g., pivotal position, person-organization fit, star employee, etc.) in the article, make sure you describe or explain what they are, as if they were vocabulary words.

B. Results and/or conclusions. What did the authors find or propose?

C. What are the practical implications of the article? How could managers (any manager) use the information in the article to benefit their organization?

D. What is your opinion of the article? What is the most interesting or surprising point from this reading? What is one point to take away from it?

E. What is a question you have from the reading? Please do not interpret this as "throw-away" sentences to satisfy criteria. You will be evaluated on your ability to demonstrate logical inquiry. For instance, "I wonder if this would apply to a sports organization?" would be considered a "throw away" sentence and does not demonstrate much thought. On the other hand, "I wonder if, during free agency, the intangible assets of baseball players become more or less important to teams based on their current competitive position?" would be considered a thoughtful question. Note: Do not use that question because I already wrote a paper about it (Terry et al., 2022; full citation in Phase 3 optional readings).
