ConstruiREcycler (FUN)

Le recyclage n'est pas un luxe ou une mode mais une nécessité, qui provient d'une constatation fort simple : nous vivons dans un monde limité. Contrairement à ce que nous avons cru fort longtemps et surtout dans les "golden sixties", notre activité humaine n'est pas infiniment développable, car bornée par des limites en termes d'énergie, de ressources naturelles, d'espace ou simplement de capacité d'adaptation de la nature.

Organizational Behavior (saylor.org)

Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of how people interact in organizations. These interactions are governed by a number of factors, including your personal life, the personality of your boss or your boss’s boss, a direct report, the team you have been assigned to, or the direction that the top of the organization has given to you. This course will cover five major OB areas including managing individuals, managing groups, power and politics, conflict management, and organizational change. Before delving into more rigorous content, it is important to understand what an organization is and the history of organizational behavior as a discipline. In taking this into consideration, this course will begin with a look at the basics of an organization.
