The innovation startup ecosystem (KNĐMST) in Vietnam has rapidly expanded, involving diverse stakeholders, with knowledge creation, management, and transfer organizations playing a central role. However, a significant gap exists in the absence of a specialized, systematic tool to comprehensively assess the connectivity capacity of these crucial entities. Current evaluation methods are often fragmented, procedural, and fail to capture the depth of their interconnectedness, hindering effective resource allocation and strategic planning. This paper addresses this void by proposing a robust indicator system to evaluate the connectivity capacity of creative, managerial, and knowledge transfer organizations within Vietnam's KNĐMST. The objective is to provide a structured framework that aids in objective assessment, informs innovation policy development, and empowers organizations to enhance their pivotal coordinating role.

Researchers, policymakers, and leaders/managers of organizations involved in Vietnam's innovation startup ecosystem, including research institutes, technology transfer centers, and innovation hubs.

This academic paper introduces a comprehensive five-dimension indicator system designed to evaluate the connectivity capacity of organizations involved in knowledge creation, management, and transfer within Vietnam's innovation startup ecosystem. The proposed system comprises: (i) organizational capacity, focusing on foundational structures and operational effectiveness; (ii) specialized support capacity, encompassing technical expertise in R&D, technology transfer, incubation, and intellectual property; (iii) practical connectivity level, measuring the depth and breadth of linkages with various ecosystem actors; (iv) operational results, reflecting tangible contributions such as successful startups, technology commercialization, and IP registrations; and (v) development potential, assessing future growth and adaptability within the evolving ecosystem.
The research employs a qualitative scale development approach, meticulously building upon a thorough theoretical foundation. It integrates established concepts from open innovation, Triple/Quadruple Helix models, and network-centric innovation theory. The methodology involves a systematic literature review, data aggregation and coding, followed by the construction of thematic tables and the design of preliminary survey items. This structured approach ensures academic rigor and contextual relevance for Vietnam.
The proposed assessment indicator system offers significant applied value. It provides a critical tool for policymakers to conduct systematic evaluations and optimize resource allocation within the KNĐMST. Furthermore, it empowers creative and knowledge transfer organizations to strategically assess their own connectivity, identify areas for improvement, and strengthen their coordinating role. This framework serves as an essential preliminary step toward developing a standardized and empirically validated measurement instrument, fostering a more coherent, efficient, and interconnected innovation landscape in Vietnam.
