  abstract = {Several recently-developed human resources (HR) management studies found that HR development is associated with key stages of Vietnam’s economic development. Conversely, limited research focused on talent management (TM) in the country’s context. Those studies mainly investigated the ways of attracting and/or retaining Vietnamese talents without a clear focus on the conceptualization of talent and TM. The aims of the study are to (i) explore the conceptualization of talent and TM in the Vietnamese banking sector and (ii) identify similarities and differences between public (state-owned) and private employers in that sector regarding how they conceptualize talent and TM. The literature review discussed main significant perspectives of talent conceptualization, TM approaches and the overview of TM in the banking sector. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with bank managers at private and public banks to collect qualitative data. Based on the research findings, Vietnamese bank talents are mostly related to two main areas; sales and distribution. Remarkably, bank talent refers to acquired soft skills, learning ability, flexibility and technology adaptability of high performers/potentials rather than to innate abilities. The study revealed notable differences between public and private banks regarding talent and TM conceptualizations. Specifically, talent in the private banking sector is identified by not only results (high performance) but also competency (high potential) whereas in the public sector it is mostly identified by results (high performance). Additionally, public banks consider TM as a key human resources management (HRM) practice while private banks attribute TM to various other activities focusing on talent.},
