Communication

This part focus on the communication in a very broad approach of organizational dynamics, analysis of the role and function of executive and team management in its different dimensions (motivation, dynamics of change, conflict management, etc.) . The customer relationship dimension has become unavoidable, both for general-purpose Social Security organizations in their relationship with their users (customer approach) and, even more so, for supplementary social protection organizations, particularly mutual ones, in a specific sector, highly competitive. The satisfaction and loyalty of the "customer" has become essential as the marketing techniques and search for new customers or partners. The negotiation dimensions will thus be approached both in its internal and external dimensions.

He insists on professional immersion (case study) and on case studies, by promoting autonomy and taking responsibility of his students. In this perspective, the study dissertation must allow the students to enhance their professional immersion, to position themselves as a force of analysis and proposals. The methodology of study dissertation is inseparable from the personalized follow-up of the student by a referent teacher who is also in relation with his host organization.
