| Aims |
A course in Epistemology of research on management should allow the students to access to a critical theory of knowledge applied to management and, in a wider sense, to all disciplines that belong to management studies.
Such an objective is at the same time theoretical and practical: firstly, it should help the students in understanding how a "management science" has been progressively invented, what are the challenges of such a scientific project and what are its main values and limits; secondly, it should give them the reflexive roots that appear necessary to fulfill their PhD. thesis in management studies.

| Content |
This course will be an opportunity to initiative a genuine dialog between the teacher and the students. Therefore, it will mix theoretical sessions (by the teacher) and presentations of scientific articles (by the students), and should stimulate collective discussions on main challenges in epistemology applied to research on management.
