Abstract
Universities, particularly those in the fields of engineering and technology, are playing an increasingly central role in the innovation ecosystem, making the evaluation of knowledge and technology transfer (KTT) effectiveness an essential requirement for strategic management. However, Vietnam still lacks a comprehensive evaluation framework that is well-suited to its contextual realities. Based on a synthesis of three global approaches to evaluating KTT, this paper proposes an integrated framework that combines the Hierarchical Decision Model with the Results Chain Model. The proposed framework is structured across four levels: Mission, Objectives, Results Chain, and an Indicator System, thereby aligning strategic orientation with operational mechanisms. This framework serves as both a practical management tool for universities and a policy reference for promoting KTT in Vietnam.
Keywords: Knowledge and Technology Transfer; Results Chain; Higher Education Institutions; Hierarchical Decision Model.
