In the era of VUCA,a company's talent strategy is related to the company's sustainable operation and future long-term development.If enterprises want to maintain their advantages in this era of fierce competition,the key practice is to create a reliable talent supply and management mechanism,to create an environment and platform that is conducive to the talents growth and potential maximization,and to do a good job in talent selection,cultivation,development,and incentives,etc.It is key to integrate talent development into an enterprise's operational strategy.A company's most important position,the general manager,is particularly worthy of attention and research.As a company's core management member,the general manager has the main decision-making power and management power of a company's business activities and strategy implementation,and thus is an essential figure in the company's growth process.Therefore,the selection,introduction and management of the general manager's talents,and the issue of incentives have also become major strategic issues related to the survival and future development of a company.The general manager's significant impact on a company results in great attention from entrepreneurs and extensive discussions in the academic community.The selection process,personal background and entrepreneurial talent of the general manager candidates largely determine the operating performance and future development of an enterprise,as this position is an important human resource and strategic resource of the enterprise.Based on the theory of talent recruitment and management,this paper uses ICE Education Group,a benchmark enterprise in the education industry,as the main research object.Based on the current developmental status of education industry,this paper uses the theory of principal-agent,incomplete contract,competency model,talent inventory,talent supply chain and other theoretical frameworks and the best human resource practices to conduct a case study on ICE Education Group.This case study focuses on the introduction,management strategies,recruitment strategies and talent management mechanisms of the department of oversea studies.In short,this paper first analyzes and summarizes the research on the domestic and foreign ideas,theories and current situation on the recruitment and management of talents through literature review and case analysis.Secondly,it focuses on the market share distribution,competitive situation,future development,as well as the current situation of senior executive management in this industry.Lastly,the paper analyzes and summarizes the cases of talent recruitment and management at the level of general manager and director at the five regional branches of oversea studies department at ICE Education Group.Combined with actual data from the enterprise operation,this paper uses the talent supply chain model as the theoretical framework,and summarizes the successful elements of executive talent recruitment and management process at ICE Education Group as the following: 1)The evaluation of effectiveness of the senior executive recruitment can be carried out from the perspective of talent supply chain management in an all-round way,which emphasizes operational efficiency as well as ROI;from the professional level,it is to emphasize its timeliness(JIT),which includes the effectiveness of dynamic talent management.To achieve this,it is necessary to have a systematic control over the short-term planning,talent reserve,as well as talent inventory;2)it is particularly important to build a good business platform for the recruitment of talents;3)for talents recruited from outside the enterprise,performance protection mechanism is used to ensure that parachuting executives can survive in the new enterprise;4)in order to make the talent supply chain sustainable,we need to establish and improve the talent management and incentive mechanism,especially the long-term equity incentive(commonly known as "golden handcuffs").This paper will apply the theories acquired during the MBA course,use relevant human resource management methodologies,with the consideration of real-life factors,to carry out an innovative discussion and analysis on the selection of senior managers.The results of this analysis have strong applicability and provide a practical basis for talent recruitment and management of ICE Education Group's branches.At the same time,it has certain reference value and can act as a practical guide for other firms and institutions in education industry on how to effectively recruit senior managers,improve recruitment efficiency,and increase the positive effect of recruitment.
