Learning unit contents
Our intention is to provide you with conceptual keys in order to be able to observe and understand organizations, their functioning in its complexity, their internal structures and their environment, as well as the interactions and power games (cooperation and tensions) that take place there. .
More generally, the analysis of organizations concerns the study of the different modes of functioning of organized human groups (companies, markets, associations, etc.). The understanding of these human groups must take into account their complexity and their environment. The concepts and methods of analysis that will be seen in the course will aim to raise students' awareness of their ability to listen and observe the realities of the world of work.
