The main goal of this paper is to present and discuss talent management (TM) in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Despite the fact that the number of articles covering the issue is rising, the context of SMEs is still underresearched. Thus, this paper can be a valuable source of information for both researchers and practitioners interested in the subject. In the article, the data gathered from 200 Polish SMEs were used. Information covering TM practices in SMEs was obtained using structured interviews conducted with SME owners or managers.

Celem tego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie praktyk zarządzania talentami (ZT), występujących w małych i średnich przedsiębiorstwach (MŚP), a następnie dokonanie ich krytycznej analizy z uwzględnieniem dostępnej wiedzy w tym obszarze. Pomimo rosnącej liczby publikacji z zakresu ZT, zarówno w Polsce, jak i na świecie, kontekst małych i przedsiębiorstw wciąż nie jest uwzględniany w wystarczającym stopniu. Z tego względu artykuł ten może stanowić źródło cennych informacji zarówno dla naukowców, jak i praktyków zarządzania. W artykule wykorzystano dane pochodzące z 200 firm działających w Polsce. Informacje pozyskano na podstawie wywiadu kwestionariuszowego, przeprowadzonego z właścicielami lub menedżerami zarządzającymi.
