Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship:
There is very little encouragement for the faculty to engage in innovation and entrepreneurship. Even though research commercialization exists, the process is tedious and burecrautic. Much of the faculty does not know about the research commercialization, and the rest does not attempt it due to its difficult and time consuming nature. Faculty that works in innovation and entrepreneurship is mostly self-driven, or it is an important part of the courses they are giving, which tends to be the case within the Business Administration Departement.
