Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, the students will be able to study with particular frames of references specific HR issues by recognizing the organizational context in which these HR issues appear and by discerning working process. Students will be alerted to the necessity to pay attention to specific factors while thinking strategically about HRM. They will be also able to suggest specific actions or improvements in order to solve HR issues that will be analysed during the course and to view a specific HR problem with different approaches
 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Each year, one particular HR issue is selected to be studied for HR Diagnosis course. The first lessons present some theories that can be used to understand this HR issue. Students have then to make an interview guide related to the studied HR issue. With such a guide, students will conduct interviews with managers and employees in companies. During the last lessons, students present their first interviews results in front of the class. The analysis that results from interviews is subjected to a written work that will be presented and discussed during the final evaluation.
The learning activities of this teaching unit are fully complementary and differ only in the way they are taught.
