Introduction: This article is based on the interest of configuring tools to diagnose capacities and reference the needs and different criteria to integrate resources and routines so that Higher Education Institutions achieve systemic innovation objectives as a result of the strategic and operative management of capacities for the creation and dissemination of knowledge. For this reason, this article sets forth the approximation to a categorization model of innovation capacity indicators for Higher Education Institutions. It also concerns about its relationship with knowledge transfer processes based on the generation and classification of indicators regarding the resources and necessary routines to manage this transference. All this to influence business development from a knowledge management perspective.
Objective: The purpose of this paper is to design a rubric model based on criteria and indicators to facilitate the evaluation of innovation capacities in Higher Education Institutions.
Methodology: The development of the project used a documentary qualitative method of descriptive character in which the following phases were defined: Search for sources and bibliographic data to support the methodology developed; analysis of studies conducted by authors on measurement models and their results to weigh the indicators that were required to analyze the capacities proposed by the functional approach of innovation capabilities; and finally, ponder resources and routines to present a diagnostic scheme of innovation capabilities in two Higher Education Institutions.
Results: The results lead to the analysis of innovation dynamics in Higher Education Institutions under a model of innovation capabilities.
Conclusions: The identification and adequate management of innovation capabilities will allow obtaining the necessary competitive advantages for organizational sustainability, differentiation, and strengthening of the university-company relationship.
