The organisation is the IT specialist's "field". Understanding it and being able to analyse an organisational situation is a recurring requirement of IT professions.
Future professionals need to think critically about organisations, both in terms of their expertise and in terms of their career path and well-being at work.
The course aims to develop a threefold competence:
Theoretical: understanding the concepts of organisational analysis
Critical: being able to take a step back from an organisation and its various components
Reflective: questioning one's expectations and professional opportunities in terms of work contexts and career paths
The course is an introduction to organisational theory and its history, marked by various organisational perspectives and paradigms. It is structured around three perspectives: positivism, interpretativism and post-modernism, and considers the notions of structure, culture and politics.
An oral exam tests students' understanding of the concepts and perspectives covered in the course. A written assignment is used to summarise what the student has heard from the professional and to reflect on the content, both in terms of the concepts covered in the course and in terms of the student's career plans.
