Course contents :
|
| In the second year of the Master in Human Resource Management, the students have to complete an internship (12 ECTS). They also write a Master thesis (15 ECTS) consisting in an individual exercise of research following a rigorous approach.
This seminar aims to assist students in a collective work of comparative research, grounded in their respective internship workplace. From the concrete work situations they will face, they will write a case study based on the description and analysis of managerial discourses, management tools and professional practices. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the seminar, the student will be able
- to define a research question,
- to develop a semi-structured interview guide,
- to conduct some semi-structured interviews,
- to make some empirical statements based on a comparative analysis (of interviews and fields studied by students of the same group)
- and to problematize.
These tasks underpin the sociological research methodology that the student can apply to his Master thesis.
By the way, he/she will have developed critical thinking and teamwork skills. |
