Abstract
Based on the model of knowledge transfer between science and industry developed by Polt et al. (2001), this article outlines the development of a model for knowledge transfer between companies. Key drivers for this type of knowledge transfer were identified by means of a literature review. The results of this review are compared with the features of the model of Polt et al. (2001). This model was modified to suit the company context. At the end of the article follows an analysis for the context “large corporations vs. small and medium-sized enterprises (SME)”. The discussion of whether the relevance of drivers differs across various company contexts forms part of the paper.
