The purpose is to answer a research question, by using the ability to work with theoretical frameworks, analytic, synthetic and reasoning skills, and critical mind, in order to bring a real added value.

Elaborate a solution to a field problematic directly linked with a company : direct field observation, with interviews, surveys, ... Links with theory and operational recommendations to the company.
