Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Droit des sociétés
Strategy :
The course aims to provide students with a basic training in the subjects of company law and social law.
The objective is to provide students with the structuring elements of the subject matter useful for their professional life in the business world. The student must be able to identify the existence of a legal problem in the fields concerned, to find a solution to it or to seek a solution from a third party, which he or she must be able to understand, in order to - finally - take the appropriate decisions.
Students are therefore required to understand and know the subject matter, to develop an analytical and critical mind, to be able to synthesise, and to show the scientific rigour necessary for any analysis.
Implementation :
The course will train students to take a critical and ethical look at their managerial practices when faced with a complex situation, taking into account the constraints and legal consequences of their decisions.
Quality and Performance Control :
The course will enable the student to implement performance and quality control within a company, organisation or project, measuring the compatibility of the measures taken against the applicable law.
Communication :
The course will enable students to communicate effectively about their company, organisation or project, both internally and externally, by integrating legal aspects into their speech.
Adaptability :
The course will enable students to adapt their managerial practices to the needs of a constantly changing world, especially in the legal field,
- by being attentive to societal, economic, political and environmental issues.
- by demonstrating curiosity and scientific rigour at university level.
