      Research




      = Managing by values

      =
      Dolan developed the management model acronymed "Managing by values", which deals with shaping organizational culture through the identification of its most important shared values. The model identifies three axes of values: Ethical, Economic and Emotional-developmental in a triaxial structure.
      In this model, the value of trust was identified as the "value of values" (mega-value) which is a central axis for maintaining a balanced and sustainable healthy organization. Similarly, it applies to sustain effective leadership and a work-family balance.


      = Stress and burnout management

      =
      Dolan also developed the "Chronic Stress Management" model, which eventually led to the development of a diagnostic tool acronym: The Stress Map. The latter deals with mapping the sources of stress (in work and non-work contexts), the modulating variables, consequences in terms of signs (physiological and biological) and symptoms (psychological and somatic) measured by a new algorithm called density (frequency multiplied by severity). This diagnostic tool is based on the principles of gamification.


      Professional work outside universities


      In 1978 Dolan founded an international consulting corporation in the field of value-based human resource management, Gestión MDS Management Inc. The company has offices in Montreal (Canada) and Rabat (Morocco). In 2017 he co-founded the e-Merit Academy (along with Prof. Mario Raich from Zurich). The academy is dedicated to developing managers in the era of globalization, digital and cyber-age.
      Dolan serves as the president and academic director of the "Center for Management and Training by Values" in Israel, which is a satellite office of Gestion MDS Inc.
      He is also president of a Spanish values training center ZINQUO, and CEO of a technological venture called myDova.

      Dolan published over 85 books, many of which were translated into several languages.
