Information Management, Knowledge Management, Institutional Intelligence, Institutional Innovation, Science and Technology InstitutionsAbstract
Innovation systems in science and technology institutions remain oriented toward formalized outputs, such as patents and licenses, which tends to render applied and incremental knowledge invisible. Although the literature emphasizes innovation as a relational process, organizational practices continue to focus on formalized assets. This article identifies the absence of models capable of treating undergraduate capstone projects as strategic assets. Based on a systematic literature review and qualitative inductive analysis, the study proposes a model that articulates information management, knowledge management, and institutional intelligence. The model provides analytical parameters to support institutional diagnosis and strengthening.
