Aims

An applied analysis of an issue of work using the approaches and methods of sev-eral disciplines (sociology, economics, human resource management, law, and indus-trial relations). Perception of the complexity of realities, and of areas of interdependence, coherence and incoherence. A search for explanatory factors of interdependence.

Main themes

The course will be run jointly by three tenured teachers. Each will have responsibility for analysing the issue using the approach and methods of his/her own subject (i.e. sociology, human resource manage-ment, economics, law, and industrial relations). These members of staff will jointly highlight the areas of interdependence of the various analyses and, given the limitations of the teaching methodology, will identify the explanatory factors.
- Students will be urged to carry out experimental fieldwork (actors, organisations, and concrete work situations).
- Students will have to complete work in a sub-group. The phases of collective work also involve indi-vidual work between sessions.

Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)

Assistants will be at the disposal of students during the inte-grated sessions. Dates will be posted on the IST notice-board. As-sessment will largely focus on the piece of written work that students will present in sub-groups.
This course forms part of a study programme that takes place in the evenings and on Saturday mornings.
The Professors will choose the work theme together.
The Professors will work as a team.
