Abstract

Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) is the leading original equipment manufacturer in South Africa. Business strategy and talent management alignment is therefore the key for business success. For the past couple of years, there has been a frequent executive management turnover and several promotions to senior management positions. The research question was to ascertain the relationship between talent management strategy and the achievement of business objectives. The quantitative research study included a deductive approach. Primary data was collected using a questionnaire survey personally administered by the researchers. Results for two talent management pillars were positive but require some improvements. However, results for succession planning reveal this pillar requires urgent attention to maintain competitive advantage and realize the vision of becoming the mother plant in Africa.
