Samenvatting

Business is changing from an industrial- to a knowledge-based environment, building more from professionals
and their expertise. Corporations need to create internal organizations in which there is more emphasis on human capital and
creating/sharing knowledge and talents. Talent management and knowledge creation should be new foci to create
sustainability and long-term success. On the whole, organisations are working too much on an ad hoc basis, focusing on
technology instead of creating an environment in which talents reinforce each other. In this review article we explore
knowledge circulation, link knowledge, and talent to innovation, and discuss optimum circumstances for corporations to
benefit from these assets.
