{"product_id":"the-gift-of-global-talent-9781503628984","title":"The Gift of Global Talent","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe global race for talent is on, with countries and businesses competing for the best and brightest. Talented individuals migrate much more frequently than the general population, and the United States has received exceptional inflows of human capital. This foreign talent has transformed U.S. science and engineering, reshaped the economy, and influenced society at large. But America is bogged down in thorny debates on immigration policy, and the world around the United States is rapidly catching up, especially China and India. The future is quite uncertain, and the global talent puzzle deserves close examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo do this, William R. Kerr uniquely combines insights and lessons from business practice, government policy, and individual decision making. Examining popular ideas that have taken hold and synthesizing rigorous research across fields such as entrepreneurship and innovation, regional advantage, and economic policy, Kerr gives voice to data and ideas that should drive the next wave of policy and business practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Gift of Global Talent\u003c\/i\u003e deftly transports readers from joyous celebrations at the Nobel Prize ceremony to angry airport protests against the Trump administration's travel ban. It explores why talented migration drives the knowledge economy, describes how universities and firms govern skilled admissions, explains the controversies of the H-1B visa used by firms like Google and Apple, and discusses the economic inequalities and superstar firms that global talent flows produce. The United States has been the steward of a global gift, and this book explains the huge leadership decision it now faces and how it can become even more competitive for attracting tomorrow's talent. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease visit \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hbs.edu\/managing-the-future-of-work\/research\/Pages\/default.aspx\"\u003ewww.hbs.edu\/managing-the-future-of-work\/research\/Pages\/default.aspx\u003c\/a\u003e to learn more about the book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William R.
