Dr. McCusker’s research is focused on Technology Management, Product Innovation Management, Project Management, Front End of Innovation, Information Management, Business Process Innovation and Management, Decision Technologies, Telecommunication Management, Telecommunications Policy and Economics, and Wireless Networks.

He is the principal investigator of the new Environmental Entrepreneurship (E2) Program which creates an environment that fosters rapid marketplace realization of economically successful innovations that are capable of being adopted by existing companies or serve as a basis for starting new ventures. By combining the technology push that characterizes conventional technology transfer routes with the market pull, the team expects to reduce the usual three- to four-year time frame for technology transfer to at most two years.

The E 2-Lab intends to re-define the traditional university-industry technology transfer process and to create an unconventional entrepreneurial solution, the E2-Innovation-Transfer Process.

Dr. McCusker has contributed to many journals, articles and conference proceedings, and the combined efforts of faculty in the Howe School have recently resulted in their citation as among the “World’s Elite Research Institutions in Management of Technology.” Dr. McCusker accepted this award from the International Association for Management of Technology (IAMOT) and it proves a capstone to the schools efforts to project their programs and research efforts globally.
