Abstract :
In managers´ minds technology transfer still is being considered as something like: I put together this package, then I hand it over to you and then it´s done! Often enough, as a result of such kind of transfer of knowledge, the recipient will not be enabled to increase his or her ability to act. This paper focuses on how firms have can overcome the problems of traditional ´package´ thinking in the transfer of technological knowledge. Emphasizing an action perspective, the objective of the transfer of technological knowledge is seen in creating actionable knowledge at the recipient while traditional transfer modes too often created inert knowledge at the recipient´s site
