Research institutes have an unquestionable responsibility and importance in the development of science and technology in Brazil and all over the world. They have a direct commitment to the creation, retention of knowledge and new practices, with the purpose of converting them into value, thus meeting the needs and demands of society, solving problems in the cities, favoring the increase of the agroindustry production, as well as helping the organizationsto maintain competitive differentialsthat allow to overcome the obstacles interposed and the positioning in a turbulent market, thus leveraging the economic development of the country (Cavalcanti, 2001; Tigre, 2006). The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovac¸ão – MCTI), one of the main knowledge gatekeepers in Brazil, congregates federal Research Units (Unidades de Pesquisa – UP) in several States of the Federation, which evolved according based on the development needs imposed by the socioeconomic advance and, consequently, storing knowledge throughout its existence (Brazil, 2015). It is important to emphasize that, currently, the real wealth of a country derives from the creation of knowledge (Cavalcanti, 2001). This, in turn, transforms and returnsin the form of brands, patents, products,scientific research, publications, certifications and toolsthat guarantee a greater competitive advantage, becoming a benchmark in a globalized market (Barney & Hesterly, 2006). It guarantees economic, intellectual and social growth, thus achieving a competitive differential for society, organizations and the country. In this context, knowledge becomes a differential factor for many organizations, whether public or private. Organizations in the knowledge age are in constant process of change, and the valuation of Intellectual Capital and Intangible Assets is an imperative issue in this new scenario (Cavalcanti, 2001; Rezende, 2014). According to Sveiby (1998), the management, evaluation and creation of these intangible stock and flows are of vital importance to organizations. Wealth and well-being previously assessed, quantified, and measured by physical capital assets are measured based on intangibles, knowledge created, managed, shared, transferred, and retained within organizations(Barney & Hesterly, 2006). In addition, it isimportant to note that the use of resources – including, but not limited to, intangible assets – can generate extraordinary profits, which are ultimately responsible for the creation of company value. With the popularization of information and communication technologies, new markets, professions and products have emerged. As a result, these drivers force a change of focus and management models adopted by the organizations, leading to new strategies to be able to understand the existing disruptive technologies and to guarantee new commercial relations without losing the already acquired market reputation. According to Davis and Meyer (1999) we are in the era of the Blur economy where there are no longer stable solutions, where successful ventures, whether public or private, are not “resting” at any time.
