Shots of a town in South West France. Peter Hamilton gives some background information
on the research project being conducted by Georges Benguigui and Dominique Monjardet.
The first section of the programme shows Benguigui and Monjardet interviewing staff
from a pastry factory, establishing their job titles and descriptions. As they speak
in French the programme carries subtitles. Shots of work in the pastry factory. Peter
Hamilton describes the next batch of questions the researchers asked. Benguigui and
Monjardet are shown asking about the amount of personal responsibility people have
in their jobs. The interviewees describe the degree of budgetary control in the firm
and talk about how things could be improved within the factory. Shots of the production
line. Peter Hamilton describes a further research concern, how managers allocate their
time. Benguigui and Monjardet are shown asking about routines and overlaps in areas
of responsibility. The employees are also asked whether they feel they have enough
freedom of action in their work. Finally the researchers ask a series of questions
about promotion and what characteristics would they look for if they were to appoint
successors to their positions. |

Description |
This programme is part of a pair which look at the work or two French sociologists,
Dr. Dominique Monjardet and Dr. Georges Benguigui of the National Scientific Research
Centre (CNRS), University of Paris, conducting a cross-cultural comparative study
of management in English and French firms. In this particular programme we go to a
vol-au-vent factory in South West France and observe the "two sociologists interviewing
the production chain of the factory from charge hand to Managing Director. The film
is subtitled. Students are asked to observe the methods and methodology of the two
French sociologists in considerable detail. They are also asked in each programme
to observe the difference it makes to an interviewer when he is using his mother tongue,
as opposed to a foreign language. |
