Bibliographie
Pedagogical tools – Students will base their oral presentations on 2 portfolios:
  • the one in ‘fundamental epistemology’ is divided by main epistemological branches (‘Foundations of Epistemology’, ‘Positivism and Neo-positivism’, ‘Systems and Structures’, ‘Phenomenology and Hermeneutics’, ‘Critical Realism and Pragmatism’;
  • the one in ‘applied epistemology’ is divided by main managerial domains (‘Accountability and Finance’; ‘Marketing and Consumer Behavior’, ‘Data Analysis and Information Systems’, ‘Human Resources Management’, ‘Organizations’, ‘General Management’).
In addition, 3 books are highly recommended:
  • A History of Western Philosophy, by B. Russel (London: Simon&Schuster, 1967 [1945]);
  • Understanding Management Research, by Phil Johnson and Joanne Duberley (London: Sage, 2000);
  • Justice in the Workplace. Overcoming Ethical Dilemmas, by Matthieu de Nanteuil (London: Edward Elgar, 2021).
As part of their learning process, students have access to a number of slides on Moodle.
