There’s an interesting column in the December 7, 2009 issue of BusinessWeek Magazine entitled:

‘The Coming Fight for Executive Talent”

It’s worth reading.

The article discusses the shifting of top managerial talent from west to east and suggests a few ideas as to how Western nations can compete for talent.

It’s a thought-provoking column and, while I think the problem needs to be addressed in a different and more fundamental way, it’s a trend that we need to understand.
