Top Tier Ranking in Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Severino Center for Technological Entrepreneurship - Radical Innovation Research Project
The school was named for Kenneth T. and Thelma P. Lally, whose generosity helped make the school what it is today.
As part of the Rensselaer ecosystem in innovation – from Discovery in the School of Science and Invention in the School of Engineering to Commercialization – the Lally School of Management and Technology fosters early stage technological innovation and radical innovation in large companies.
Faculty at the Lally School are researchers as well as practitioners, capable of teaching entrepreneurship and innovation, and involving students in real-world projects with startups and large, established companies.
The mission of the Radical Innovation Research Group is twofold: First, to continue the research that will produce new ideas and insights for improving the practice of managing radical innovation in larger, established companies; and Second, to deliver those ideas and insights to our partners in ways that help them improve their performance.
Radical innovation has the potential to offer either new-to-the-world performance features; a dramatic (5-10X) performance improvement in known features; or a dramatic (30-50%) reduction in cost.
The overarching hypothesis is that management practices for breakthrough innovations must be different from conventional new product development because radical innovations are high risk, high uncertainty undertakings. Conventional management practice is designed for lower uncertainty domains.
Since early 1995, Lally School faculty from diverse backgrounds in finance, marketing, entrepreneurship and operations have been studying management practices associated with radical innovation. Descriptions of research thus far with three cohorts of large companies, publications, and outcomes can be found on the Lally School Website.
The Severino Center for Technological Entrepreneurship in the Lally School fosters the work of seven (7) professors at Lally who teach entrepreneurship and help develop early-stage companies. Its BIOTECH series and participation in BICONNEX events foster collaborations between high growth biotech firms in the area, venture capitalists, and larger companies. In addition the Center funds a Tech Valley Collegiate Business Plan Competition for young entrepreneurs, sponsors annual events, such as Rensselaer’s Entrepreneur of the Year, and helps build the pipeline of underrepresented populations through conferences on Women of Diversity in Entrepreneurship, which brings high caliber role models to the community.
From these efforts, students from the Lally School and Rensselaer’s broader university community can incubate their ventures at the RPI Incubator on campus. As they develop their ventures and grow their companies, they can then move on to Rensselaer’s Technology Park.
MBA students at Lally work in an innovative, entrepreneurial environment and are exposed to a cross-functional curriculum that integrates all business disciplines across a continuum. They tackle real-world business problems associated with “creating and managing an enterprise,” “developing new, innovative products and services,” and “managing the business implications of emerging technologies” where economics, finance, marketing, operations, people, and information technology must be integrated to achieve goals.
As part of an experiential learning environment, students work on the patent portfolio from Rensselaer’s Office of Commercialization in the Incubator as part of their strategy class. They take on real-world problems and research for local companies; and work with faculty on radical innovation projects for large, established firms.
In the end, students leaving with a Lally MBA are well-equipped to take on the challenges of today’s global economy where high speed innovation is essential to bottom line performance for all types of companies.
