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.
Content
Method
How to explain a problem in its complexity?
First, take the problem into context. As a work-related problems, the company is a rich pool of experiences, issues, innovations, including the management of human resources. We therefore suggest to students to conduct a case study in a business of their choice (private or public sector, hotel, hospital).
Second, understand the reality in all its diversity implies an approach that combines curiosity and method. Curiosity drew several angles, different positions of observation, different postures too. The method is the use of knowledge and know - how established. Disciplinary approaches preferred in this seminar are law, sociology and economics. In this multidisciplinary seminar, we will jointly undertake a research process, whose originality is to articulate the contributions of several disciplines.
