*Are there any unique successes (and or challenges) you may wish to highlight? = Conclusion = Alabama State University (ASU) is a&nbsp;small university by population, and does not appear to have the benefit of large budgets that is common in typical Association of American Universities (AAU) member schools. It can however be argued that dollar-for-dollar, ASU derives similar levels of academic and entrepreneurial outputs with its larger counterparts. Even so, there are lessons from larger university innovation programs in scale, impact, program rigor, and access to capital that may be applicable to ASU. The Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship university innovation case studies should be a good starting point for ASU’s faculty to compare innovative practices. Comments by Ms. Janel Bell Haynes and her colleagues have been instructive in better understanding Alabama State University’s various innovative entrepreneurship programs, as well as the impact of the NACIE commitment letter on the school’s strategic plan and institutional culture. The Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship thanks Alabama State University’s assistance with this case study, and looks forward to a continued close and collaborative relationship in building America’s innovation infrastructure.<div><br/> ----<div id="ftn1">² Comments by: Ms. Janel Bell Haynes, Chair, Business Administration Department, Alabama State University; Dr. Le-Quita J Booth, Dean, College of Business Administration/Director, the Disadvantaged Businesses Enterprise (DBE), Alabama State University; Dr. Kamal Hingorani, Chair of Computer Information Systems, Alabama State University; and Dr. William Pickard, Entrepreneur in Residence, Alabama State University, Chairman and CEO of Global Automotive Alliance, LLC.</div><br/></div><br/><div><br/> ----<div id="edn1">The Center of Excellence:</div><div id="edn2">The SBDC:</div><div id="edn3">DBE: <br/>Source: "The Innovative and Entrepreneurial University: Higher Education, Innovation & Entrepreneurship in Focus", Department of Commerce, October 2013. <br/></div><br/></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/> &#x5B;&#x5B;Category:Deep Dives|Deep_Dives&#x5D;&#x5D;<br/>&#x5B;&#x5B;Category:Universities&#x5D;&#x5D;<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
