Abstract
Although there is a growing awareness that international students are an important source of potential global talent, few studies have tried to relate the issue of student mobility to that of competition for global talent. This chapter is an effort to fill the gap. Particularly, it is aimed to conceptualize the major approaches to attracting and retaining global talents with respect to the role of higher education institutions. We have observed and characterized three models of attracting global talent, namely the Anglo-Saxon model, Emerging economies model and Continental Europe/Nordic model. The challenges and the good practices reflected in each model along with policy recommendations will help the policy makers and practitioners take a broader view on their higher education internationalization strategies.
