| Main themes |
The course is divided in three parts :
- from a unitarist to a pluralist view of organisations : main theoretical inputs to understand relationships between actors in and around organisations : readings ;
- what happens in practice ? Preparation and implementation of a limited empirical study ;
- presentations to the class and final analysis ; implications for management and change.
|
| Aims |
Future managers interested in human resource management have to understand power relationships and micro-politics at play in the organisation or in the enterprise. These power relationships and micro-politics will determine what is or is not feasible in the field of human resource management, and also the results of HR policies. From their conception until their implementation and their final outcomes, training strategies or evaluations systems for instance, are embedded in micro-politics that constitute a specific organisational 'order'. The course focuses on an understanding of these relationships and on their role in the creation of a specific managerial order.
At the end of the course, students must be able to:
- understand the main theoretical inputs allowing them to approach these dimensions of organisations;
- use them appropriately to analyse and interpret practical situations;
- draw implications for management.
|
| Content |
The course places an important focus on interactions between the participants. Students' active participation is therefore required: presentation of readings, fieldwork, presentation of fieldwork results, discussions in the class.

Prerequisites (ideally in terms of competiencies)
Basic knowledge in human resource management and in organisational theory
Evaluation : Class participation and oral examination, in French or English
Evaluation is split in two parts :
- students group presentations in class (50%)
- individual paper (50%) of about ten pages, that must demonstrate the student's understanding of theoretical inputs and his/her capacity to use them adequately to interpret a 'real-life' situation. The paper will comprise an analytical question, the relevant theoretical references to examine this question, the empirical data collected in fieldwork, the analysis and a conclusion.
Support :
PowerPoint presentations and readings. Documents are provided via iCampus.
