ABSTRACT
The paper discusses different approaches to the problems of knowledge transfer. In the paper factors that influence cross cultural knowledge transfer with training is presented. It can be argued that the impact of national culture on the transfer of knowledge is less than the influence of such elements of the transfer process like: number of canal, source’s willingness to share knowledge, sender’s willingness to acquire knowledge, absorptive capacity of the receiver and to what degree Knowledge Resources was transformed.
