Entrepreneurship Education
Daniel W. DeHayes, Jr.
Daniel W. DeHayes came to Indiana University in August 1969 from a two-year stint
as assistant professor and U.S. Army captain at the Naval Postgraduate School in
Monterey, California. From then until his retirement in 2005, his research, teaching, and
service contributions to IU laid cornerstones for the institution’s current high standing.
IU has recently been lauded for excellence in information systems management,
entrepreneurship education, and executive education. Dan’s vision and diligence adorn
each of these areas.
Dan held a variety of administrative posts at IU. From 1976 to 1981 he served as
chair of the M.B.A. program. He was dean and director of academic computing from
1981 to 1986. (He had been promoted to full professor in 1979.) In 1987 he was
appointed IU’s first vice president of information technology, responsible for setting the
strategic direction for the university’s computing, printing, and telecommunications
services. He also served as director of the Institute for Research on the Management of
Information Systems from 1988 to 1992, and was chair of the Executive Education
Program in the School of Business in 1992–93. The Kelley School of Business is
currently ranked in the top 20 programs internationally for excellence in executive
education. In 1995–96 Dan led a project team in the re-engineering of the personnel
hiring process at the IU School of Medicine and the IU Medical Center in Indianapolis.
From 1989 to 1998 Dan was the founding director of the J ohnson Center for
Entrepreneurship and Innovation. This nationally recognized program was the catalyst
for IU’s development of an entrepreneurial education curriculum that currently ranks in
the top five in the country at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Dan was
designated “Supporter of Entrepreneurship” by Ernst & Young in J une 1999.
Throughout his active career Dan has amassed the research expected from a full
professor at a Research-I institution. He recently acted as co-principal investigator for
field studies on the traits of high performance organizations, and on the process of
competitive intelligence. He is currently engaged in a study of high growth companies.
He is also co-author of a best-selling text, Managing Information Technology: What
Managers Need to Know, currently in its fifth edition.
Outside of IU Dan acts as an advisor to CEOs of privately held companies. He
founded The Alliance, a forum for business leaders of privately held companies, in 1990,
and continues to serve as the organization’s facilitator. In 1999–2000 Dan was involved
in analyzing the business and process re-engineering effort at the Crane Naval Base,
which resulted in two lengthy business cases for use in business and public
administration courses. During his career he has served on 11 boards of directors or
boards of managers of privately held companies. He is currently vice chair of the board
of Child Craft Industries, Inc., and on the Telamon Corporation’s board as well. In
addition, he has provided leadership in the creation and growth of 14 companies.
This wealth of experience translates into excellence in the classroom. Dan taught
venture analysis, entrepreneurial strategy, marketing research, information systems
management, materials management, management consulting, operations management,
and decision sciences to M.B.A. and undergraduate students. He was the recipient of 11
M.B.A. and undergraduate, campus, and university awards for teaching excellence from
1972 through 2004. Even after his retirement, Dan remains a vital part of the Kelley
School of Business. In 2005–06 he returned to teach Managing a Growth Company and
Turnaround Management on a volunteer basis.
