There is something for everyone in this compilation, which is divided up into enough categories that there are some which will be meaningful for every SCUPer.

When University Business editors interview senior higher ed administrators, one of the questions we like to ask is, "What was your smartest business decision?"

What follows are 30 Smart Business Ideas culled from conversations with higher ed leaders that can easily be adopted at most any institution. You'll find 26 more suggestions in the online version of this article here. And if you'd like to submit your institution's own smart business idea, drop us a line at editorial@universitybusiness.com, with "Smart Business Idea" as the subject line.
