  23. Mapping Faculty in Disciplines to Phasesof Venture Development

  24. Innovation Observatories:Sloan School-wide Benefits • Research – High quality, comparable, longitudinal data on hundreds of technologies, products, companies, industries, & regions across several emerging technology sectors • Education – Students learn through close observation as practitioners in the research, benefit from new types of quantitative, cross-comparable case-studies. • Practice – Answering questions relevant to operating execs, allowing comparative benchmarking, delivered through SMR, ExecEd, custom & MBA programs.

  25. Innovation Observatories:A Way to Engage the Rest of MIT • Research on BusinessImplications of Emerging Technologies  The “MIT Matrix” • Lessons woven thru Joint Technology Business Programs • BioEnterprise, NanoEnterprise • Benefit & Draw Upon undergrads & technologist grad students • Cross-Disciplinary, Formal & Informal Social & Professional Links

  26. MIT Strategic Technology Thrusts • Information Technologies = Ever more sophisticated computation & communication, leveraging mind & media. • Biomedical Technologies = Medical engineering, perfecting the health & life sciences. • Materials Technologies = Investigating and fabricating designer materials & ever smaller systems, at scales from micro thru nano • Complex Systems = Large scale, socio-political & econo-technological systems. • Developmental Innovations = Appropriate and leapfrog technologies for tackling challenges in developing & emerging regions

  34. Infra-Structural Mechanisms • Masters Research Seminars • Coordinated Special Projects • Team UROPs • Dean’s Research Fellows • Course Connection • Structured Theses • Testbed Facilities • Experimental Participation

  35. 1. Masters Research Seminars (MRS) • Aligning Masters student professional interest with Faculty Research Agenda through specific themed-seminars • E.g. TRM – 15.795 Technology Roadmapping, Fall 2002, Professor Charlie Fine, TA Joost Bonsen • Others? • TVO – Tech Venture Observatory • OSI – OpenSource Initiative • VCI – Virtual Customer Initiative • DA – Digital Anthropology

  36. 2. Coordinated Special Projects (CSP) • Independent effort by individuals or teams of students around a sponsor or research theme of interest. • E.g. Professors Gabriel Bitran, Michael Cusumano, Diane Burton…

  37. 3. Team UROPs • Undergraduate researchers working in teams on unifying projects under the supervision of faculty, graduate students, and select alums • E.g Diane Burton, Sandy Pentland…

  38. 4. Dean’s Research Fellows (DRF) • Well-paid, full & part-time Summer & IAP graduate researchers • Prestigious position, coveted and very selective • Rich collateral benefits for student and MIT

  39. 5. Sloan Course-Research Connections • Weaving faculty research questions deeply into their academic courses, for example, with structured assignments and/or final projects. • Typically requiring further work beyond classroom, after semester • E.g. Professor Ed Roberts, Ely Dahan, Diane Burton…

  40. 6. Structured Theses • Masters theses aligned around over-arching faculty research themes • Ultimately aggregated into publication • E.g. Professors Ed Roberts, Arnoldo Hax, Charlie Fine, Michael Cusumano, Henry Weil…
