Course contents :
|
| The course is focused on the analysis of new organizational forms, issued from recent developments in the corporate strategies of Western companies. On the basis of a symbolic case (The High-Speed Train Company Thalys International), it has recourse to 5 theories, belonging to sociology and economics, in view of building a multidimensional diagnosis and proposing improvements: contingent theory, political theory, conventions theory, transaction cost theory and actor-network theory. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Initiation to diagnosis and intervention (students are invited to take the role of a junior consultant) |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| This is a distant-learning course. Only 3 meetings take place in the classroom : the two first and the last one. The remaining parts of the course are structured in 6 missions, of approximately 4 hours each, planned on a detailed schedule during 12 weeks. These lessons must be realized online in groupwork (maximal size: 3) and have to answer the different missions of diagnosis proposed . The final meeting offers the opportunity to present, in front of the classroom and the teacher, a synthesis of the partial diagnoses undertaken during the semester and, on this basis, operational recommendations. This final mission corresponds to an oral presentation of 15 to 20 minuts.
Caution : the groups will be necessarily formed during the second face-to-face meeting. No further inscription can be accepted. |
