Dean O. Smith has been a physiology professor for 36 years at the University of Wisconsin, the University of Hawaii, and Texas Tech University.

He has published 133 scientific articles.
"In Managing the Research University Dean Smith builds on his deep
experience with multiple challenges in this difficult arena. How
does one set policies for administrators, deal with government and
private donors, and resolve faculty concerns about the process?
This carefully crafted handbook is a splendid guide."--Donald
Kennedy, President Emeritus, Stanford University
"Research faculty are not trained to be vice-presidents for
research. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the
responsibilities for the position. Whether one wants to become a
vice-president for research or is an experienced one, there is
something to learn and apply from this book, especially during
these times of reduced external funding."--Elliott Kulakowski,
Executive Director, Society of Research Administrators
International
"Professor Smith's book provides deep insights into the topics
surrounding the reality that American Universities have become the
dominant basic research engine in our society. This evolution has
been fast paced and engages powerful forces both internal and
external to the University Community. The details and complexities
have grown at an exponential rate. Thus, getting the research
mission right is a 'must do'. The author's assembly of experiences
and
insights accelerates the learning process for those engaged in
leading the mission to design tomorrow's world by from today's
discoveries and advancements."--Richard Leazer Managing Director,
Retired for the
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF)
"This book will become a standard text for research administrators
and for those who want to understand more fully how the research
enterprise actually works. Dean Smith has had research leadership
responsibilities at three institutions and this book reflects that
diverse experience. The book's 17 chapters cover the 'bread and
butter' of the enterprise including external relations, planning,
sophisticated resource management, research centers and
institutes,
intellectual property, economic development and technology
transfer. Smith discuses the practical difficulties in
administration by providing examples of dialog that occurs between
participants who are
dealing with difficult problems. This book should be on the shelf
for all practitioners of the art of administration and for those
who aspire to research leadership. It is an excellent treatment of
very complex issues."--Kenneth P. Mortimer, President and
Chancellor Emeritus, University of Hawaii and University of Hawaii
at Manoa
