Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of HR Diagnosis 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. 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 ------- At the end of Personnel economic course, students will be able to apply microeconomic principles to problems related to human resource management, arising in the daily business life (compensation methods, job design, training, worker evaluation, hiring and firing, ...).

Content of UE

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 the 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 in companies. During the last lessons, students present their 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                                            
As part of Personnel economic course, personnel economic practices are numerous and changing (recruitment, remuneration, promotion, evaluation, training). The introduction briefly presents each of these practices, while two of them will be presented into detail. Econometric estimation techniques applied to panel data will also be approached, and then students will have to analyze the influence of a practice of personnel economics on a variable of performance, using the econometric software Stata.
