Terri Griffith (BA, UC Berkeley; MS, Ph.D., Carnegie Mellon University), is Associate Dean of the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University.

She is an expert on how you make combined technology and organization decisions and then work these changes into your organization. These ideas are outlined in her award-winning book, The Plugged-In Manager: Get in Tune with Your People, Technology, and Organization to Thrive. She is also one of the 100 honored members of the 2012 Silicon Valley Women of Influence. Prof. Griffith reaches a broad audience through her speaking, workshops, and writing.

The research behind these efforts is published in journals such as: Organization Science, Information Systems Research, MIS Quarterly, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, and the Academy of Management Review. Some of this work has been funded by the National Science Foundation.

Before coming to Santa Clara University, Professor Griffith was on the faculties of Washington University, St. Louis and the University of Arizona. She has also held visiting positions at UC Berkeley; Purdue University; Northwestern University; the Melbourne School of Business; and the Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration in Bangkok, Thailand.
