Course contents :

||
| The course is focused on the strategic dimension of HRM policies developed in modern organizations. 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. | ||
