Courses offered by the Institut Psychanalyse et Management (IPM)

Founded in 1992, the Institut Psychanalyse et Management (IPM) is one of the oldest academic associations in France. It is a member of the Fédération Nationale pour l’Enseignement de la Gestion des Entreprises (National Federation for Business Management Education). The IPM brings together academics and practitioners from businesses, public administrations and non-profit organizations. Its work spans the interdisciplinary fields of sociology, psychology, psychoanalysis, economics and organizational management. The IPM maintains contacts with several similar organisations abroad, notably the US-based ISPSO.  

Its work focuses on the major socio-economic issues facing contemporary society. Its work is published in the journal Psychanalyse et Management, as well as in various scientific books and journals, mainly in French. The most recent topics covered by the IPM have therefore included the metamorphoses of management, the ‘tragedy of horizons’ in businesses, new forms of managerial innovation, the new dynamics of work, the resilience and resistance of organizations, the interactions between Artificial Intelligence and human intelligence, the multiple forms of power and authority within organisztions, and the grey areas of research and management, among others.
