Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss which factors can be seen essentially affecting a company's learning ability through its organizational receptivity in inter‑organizational knowledge transfer. This will be done by developing a typology of the factors affecting company's organizational receptivity (and absorptive capacity) of new knowledge in inter‑organizational knowledge transfer. Yet, only after the pre‑conditions for the cooperation are created, it is the individuals' abilities and the organizational culture that can essentially affect the outcome.

Keywords: Organizational receptivity, Knowledge transfer, Absorptive capacity
