About
Dr. Ron Rizzo is a scholar whose work bridges the gap between academic theory and real-world innovation, with a primary focus on entrepreneurship education and technology commercialization. His most notable contribution is the development of a cross-disciplinary entrepreneurship commercialization process model, detailed in his 2019 paper "A Cross-Disciplinary Entrepreneurship Commercialization Process Model: Learning In Action." This work documents how a multi-disciplinary team—including engineering and business professors, entrepreneurs, and students—collaborated to design, develop, and bring to market an underwater submersible vehicle (an underwater robot). By capturing the "learning in action" that occurs when diverse experts unite, Rizzo provides a practical framework for translating complex technologies into viable products. While his work has garnered 2 citations, its true impact lies in its pedagogical value, offering a replicable blueprint for university-based innovation labs. Rizzo’s research empowers students and faculty to move beyond siloed thinking, demonstrating that the most transformative inventions emerge at the intersection of disciplines. His model serves as a vital resource for educators and practitioners seeking to foster entrepreneurial mindsets in STEM and business curricula.
