Executive Summary:
While most of the companies follow the evolution theory in talent development only more than one third of the multiowner firms follow the talent development and have a written succession plan. (A 2009 tune up your firm’s succession planning. Dominic Cingoranelli. Journal of accounting march 2009).
Although the talent development school is the best choice for many reasons, nevertheless it’s rarely used in a systematic way in many organisations.
This paper will explore both schools of thought and shall provide many examples. Later, I shall state my opinion and justify it.

1. Introduction All around the globe there are two main opinions about talent management. One that states that talent can be developed by itself through the everyday work. On the other hand another school states that a talent must be discovered, nurtured, grow and retained.
In the fast growing business world especially in last 2 decades many issues appeared that emphasise on taking a stand whether to follow the evolutionary theory or to follow the succession planning and management.
