It logically follows the course Introduction à la théorie des organisations, which must be viewed as a prerequisite. Face to the universalistic and normative beliefs presented in numerous HRM textbooks belonging to the mainstream, mostly from the USA, the course aims at introducing students to the diversity of HRM practices. It tends to explain such a diversity by referring to two main approaches : the contingent theory (which highlights the multiple contextual influences on HRM practices) and the political theory (which puts the emphasis on power games around such practices). Finally, it combines these two approaches and shows their implications in terms of change management. Course objective :   * critical initiation to French-speaking and English-speaking literature in HRM * appropriation of operational analytical tools likely to capture the human aspects of management Workshops :   Three reports (interviews + analysis) have to be written during the semester: they are the basis of the final evaluation.
