Groysberg is the author of a book and co-author of two more books. His first book, Chasing Stars: The Myth of Talent and the Portability of Performance, is an analysis of the portability of star talent among investment bankers in New York City. [3] In a review for the Administrative Science Quarterly , Alison Davis-Blake concluded that the book "combines the excitement of peeking inside the daily world of Wall Street investment bankers with careful statistical analyses and rich qualitative data to encourage the reader to think more deeply about whether hiring stars creates or destroys value for both stars and the firms that employ them." [3] Reviewing it for Perspectives on Work , Matthew Bidwell noted that the book made an important contribution to the literature on HR systems and mobility, and he praised the "combination of quantitative and qualitative material", concluding that "The reader comes away with a deep understanding of what investment analysts do, how those analysts relate to others, how they are managed, and how they and firms think about careers."

Talent management (TM) is the anticipation of required human capital for an organization and the planning to meet those needs. The field has been growing in significance and gaining interest among practitioners as well as in the scholarly debate over the past 10 years, particularly after McKinsey's 1997 research and the 2001 book on The War for Talent. Michaels, Ed; Handfield-Jones, Helen; Axelrod, Beth (2001). The War for Talent. Harvard Business Press. ISBN 9781578514595. Talent management in this context does not refer to the management of entertainers. Talent management is the science of using strategic human resource planning to improve business value and to make it possible for companies and organizations to reach their goals. Everything done to recruit, retain, develop, reward and make people perform forms a part of talent management as well as strategic workforce planning. A talent-management strategy should link to business strategy and to local context to function more appropriately
