The Value of In-Basket Exercises in Talent Situational Assessment from an Application Perspective
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In-basket exercises, as a critical tool for talent situational assessment, enable organizations to evaluate mid- and senior-level managers' competencies through simulated work scenarios. This paper explores the application principles, value in talent selection and development, and challenges of in-basket exercises. By analyzing real-world cases from multinational corporations (e.g., General Electric) and domestic enterprises (e.g., Huawei), the study highlights its effectiveness in improving selection accuracy, reducing recruitment costs, and diagnosing competency gaps. The integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality is proposed to enhance its future applicability.
