    CASE STUDY

    Lenovo
    1, Talent management approach (exclusive or inclusive)? How do you
    think, why the company follows it?
    When recruiting new talent, Lenovo examines different areas, such as education, experience,
    personal circumstances and personality, and candidates must be able to adapt to company needs.
    Lenovo aims to hire innovative people that possess the required job skills, yet also hold values
    consistent with those of the company .

    China’s labor market is mostly unsuitable for Lenovo’s recruiting - over 70% of the
    population is in rural areas, with low skills and poor education - the company has
    developed well-honed recruiting techniques.
    Most of the recruitment in Lenovo is done through recruitment agencies and on the
    campuses of big universities.
    Universities play an important role in bringing new talent into the company fold. In
    order to maximize its attractiveness, the company targets established universities and uses
    social media websites and other professional sites (e.g. LinkedIn). 
    Media are used to supplement the candidate stream, namely ChinaHR.com and local
    newspapers. 
    Lenovo also organizes annual Lenovo job fairs and uses many external recruitment
    agents.

    3, What is the country-specific context for talent management? Are


    there any challenges in talent management? How the company should
    overcome it?
    Being a highly hierarchical culture, the company can face communication
    issues and misunderstandings between staff and managers. There is also a
    challenge in giving feedback to a superior: the company faces the Chinese
    cultural issue of “keeping face”, where it is unacceptable for a manager to
    expose mistakes in front of subordinates.
    In order to overcome this situation, the company is driven to improve
    managerial abilities through specific training programs designed to reinforce
    strong leadership skills.
