Abstract
The question of how and when organizations change their capabilities is highlighted by recent work in strategic management. Change in firm capabilities typically requires access to different sets of knowledge and skills than those possessed by the focal firm. Recruitment of skilled employees has long been recognized as a source for accessing new competencies and facilitating broader exploration, learning and variation. Despite the growing evidence of talent mobility as a mechanism of knowledge transfer across firms, technological and geographical boundaries, examination of how and under what conditions talent mobility enables firm to transform their capabilities is limited. The purpose of this article is to summarize what we know, and provide directions to what we need to know.
