Higher education is undergoing rapid digital transformation, reshaping how institutions teach, operate, and compete in an increasingly data-driven world. Within this evolving landscape, talent management has emerged as a critical lever for sustaining innovation, and long-term institutional success. Strategically aligning talent with digital transformation efforts positions human capital at the center of institutional resilience and growth. Integrating theoretical perspectives, empirical insights, and practical frameworks highlights how digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and data-driven systems are redefining academic roles, advancing faculty development, enhancing student engagement, and strengthening overall institutional performance. Digitalizing Talent Management Strategy for Higher Education positions talent management as a strategic pillar of digital transformation in higher education, addressing a gap where digitalization and human capital are often examined separately. By integrating theoretical perspectives, empirical evidence, and applied frameworks, this book deepens understanding of how digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and data-driven systems reshape talent practices, academic roles, and institutional capabilities across diverse contexts. Covering topics such as capability reconfiguration, future-ready universities, and the political economy of academic performance, this book is a fundamental academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, university leaders, HR professionals, policymakers, and more.
