Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive framework that identifies thematic clusters and their interconnections within Global Talent Management (GTM), global careers and talent management (TM). Design/methodology/approach - In this paper, this study conducted a co-citation analysis using bibliographic data to unveil the intellectual connections and relationships among thematic articles related to GTM sourced from the Web of Science. Findings - This review highlights three key research themes: experiences working abroad, TM approaches and the complex nature of GTM as a living system. Research limitations/implications - The main limitation of this research is the sample itself. Content analysis based on the co-citation method resulted in some more recent releases being omitted. Practical implications - The practical implications of the paper include providing a structured framework for understanding the complexities of GTM. Social implications - Research into the academic literature in this area is divided into various clusters, empirically demonstrating how GTM and global mobility are intertwined, revealing the need for us to more thoroughly comprehend the social ramifications of GTM practices and activities and the need to further analyse the influencing social aspects in a GTM strategy, like diversity, increased mobility and virtual reality. Originality/value - The analysis revealed the emergence of three distinct thematic groups: (1) global work experiences, (2) TM approaches and (3) GTM.
