Abstract
This chapter aims to deliver a case study on the talent management practices that attract, utilize, and retain foreign high-end talent at Huawei. A combination of surveys and interviews were used to gather in-depth information for this business case study. Interviewees comprised current Huawei foreign senior leaders and experts coming from North America, Europe, and Asia, and responded to highlights and challenges of working at Huawei. We described the talent management processes and practices currently used by Huawei, as well as the thinking and strategy behind the talent management system. It is the aim of the chapter that other global Chinese companies will review Huawei’s experiences and strive to become more successful in attracting, developing, and retaining their talent—specifically foreign high-end talent.
