5 Acknowledgements The making of this book was achieved at the hands of many, without whose hard work, cooperation, skills and talent it would never reached publication. My sincere thanks therefore to each of the contributing authors, all of whom have not only shared their rich and diverse expertise and perspective on global talent management, but who have remained supportive and cooperative over the long weeks of preparation, editing, and publication. Thanks to you all for your patience and collaboration. I thank also the Springer team Dr. Prashanth Mahagaonkar and Mrs. Ruth Milewski for all of your help in rendering what was a mere concept for this book a concrete project and for your ongoing assistance throughout the editorial process. For her much appreciated assistance in the editing, proofreading, and finalizing the work as a whole, I thank Miss Arabella Lawson, and Mr. Adam Hoteit whose help in the initial phase in his capacity as a management consultant was fundamental. Lastly, I would like to make a special dedication to my parents, Chirine and Abdel-Salam, and to my wife, Christine, for their continuous support. Thank you. v
