Michael J. Glovis, DBA is an Adjunct Professor, in the College of Business and Information Technology at Lawrence Technological University. His areas of expertise include Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Operational Management, Strategic Planning, Material Resource Planning (MRP), Financial Controlling and Warehouse Management. Underlying these critical areas of business is the basic art of Change Management, Leadership and integration of operational efficiency. In the quest to challenge legacy norms and thinking, he instructs students in the art of shifting organizational focus from the “As Is” to the panacea of the “To Be” thus applying and enforcing the concept of Theory and Practice.
Critical to the student’s ability to quickly become productive in their current role or future career assignment, much of the focus of his classes is Leadership and Managing IT projects. His lectures incorporate a myriad of real-life examples and situations that he has experienced, giving color to the student’s image and understanding of business roles.
Dr. Glovis Received his BS and MBA from the University of Detroit and is a graduate of Lawrence Technological University having received his Doctorate from LTU in 2012. His dissertation was titled, A MIXED METHODS STUDY IN THE EXPRESSION OF FLOW, SOAR, AND MOTIVATION: DEVELOPING INDIVIDUAL TRANSCENDENCE WITHIN THE DELIVERY OF COMPLEX SYSTEM INTEGRATION PROJECTS. This topic is consistent with his career quest to encourage and develop High Performance Teams in organizations. His Theoretical experience was based upon the concept of Flow, a concept put forth and researched by Dr. M. Csikszentmihalyi. Dr. Glovis had seen this phenomenon manifest in Practice on commercial projects and in team performance during his US and international engagements while employed by Volkswagen and as a Consulting Delivery Director for SAP. In the Role of SAP Consulting Delivery Director, he had first-hand experience working with and leading teams on complex system integration projects. This experience became the basis and experiential source for his dissertation.
Glovis has years of project management experience and published journal articles and led interventions on the team performance, team conflict, team leadership, entrepreneurship, positive organizational scholarship, Appreciative Inquiry, SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results), and SOAR-based strategic thinking, planning, and leading.
