Goal(s)


• Acquire a set of concepts and analytical approaches so as to understand and handle dynamics of work organisation.

• Place 'organisation' as it actually works (and not how it should) into the centre of the analysis.

• Understand the importance of social regulations in production.

• Students carry out an operator internship at the end of the first semester (S1). This internship is the opportunity to analyse (first individually then as a group) production activity and work organisation by reusing concepts seen in class.
