Résumé

The three documents we have studied in class are taken from different sources of international press. The first is an editorial cartoon extracted from the Internet which focus is new American means to organize work places. The second is composed of to different articles, one from the Daily Mail, a tabloid and the other from the Guardian. Both deal with stress at work, which can have gruesome consequences. The third and last document is an excerpt from The Economist and is mainly concerned with new ways of management, notably with team work.

These articles are dealing with a burning issue of the 21st century: the union of the profit-making needs of global enterprises and the necessity to find new means of managing people which could be livable for workers. Indeed, nowadays, in a global environment, multinationals have to change their way of thinking profit, and in order to do profit in a changing world, they have to change their way of managing people. So, for them, management is no longer a task of directing a group of people or entities for the purpose of coordinating that group towards a goal but is moreover, a task which implies considering human resources, and human beings.

So, this day and age, what are the new goals of modern companies, and how can they reach them? How management has to change and what are the consequences for organizations and workers? In accordance with the criticism of the press, what judgement having on this point: could something else be suggested?

In order to answer to this problematic, we can develop four parts: firstly the daily objectives of multinationals, secondly the new ways of managing people in the 21st century, then the consequences it could have on workers and at last the things which can be consider as essential and which should be proposed in order to improve both profits and work life.
