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:
