Aims

- to introduce the students to the question of strategic management of human resources in the companies and organisations and to the related dynamics of change;
- to introduce them to the reflective approach (with professionalizing view) about the psychosociological interventions developed inside an environment characterized by complexity and incertainty, including in this reflective approach, when it is possible, the experience acquired during the practical training.

Main themes

- theory of the firm (economical positioning on a "quasi-market") and of the organisation (social and psychological dynamics); strategical management and radical change (Allaire and Fitsirotu)
- organisational configurations (Mintzberg) and models of management of human resources (Pichault)
- major theoretical and methodological trends concerning the intervention in companies and organisationslinked with various conceptions of the organisational change (induced, emergent, planned, radical)
- analysis of the interventions according to the crozerian model of the "concrete action system" which implies a multiplicity of doers, stakes, modes of influence and of sturcturation of the interactions.
- piloting, regulation and evaluation of the interventions in the companies and in the organisations, according to the organisational configurations and to the effectsaimed about the management of human resources.
