A jelen tanulmány célja megvizsgálni a sikeres és hatékony tudástranszfer előfeltételeit a multinacionális termelővállalatok különböző telephelyei között, figyelembe véve a tudásküldő és tudásfogadó telephelyek tulajdonságait. A szerzők kutatásukban azt vizsgálják, hogy a telephelyek által megtett erőfeszítések, az általuk alkalmazott kollaborációs eszközök és koordinációs mechanizmusok miként járulnak hozzá a sikeres tudástranszferhez. A tanulmány tizenhárom esettanulmányt tartalmaz, amelyeket négy európai országban készítettek (Svájc, Románia, Albánia és Macedónia). Tekintettel a kutatás feltáró jellegére kvalitatív kutatási módszert alkalmaztak a szerzők. Az adatgyűjtés fő módja a félig-strukturált interjúk módszertanára épült, amelyeket az említett négy országban egységesen hajtottak végre annak érdekében, hogy párhuzamot tudjanak vonni a különböző esetek között. Eredményeik azt mutatják, hogy a személyes interakció a tudásküldő és tudásfogadó telephelyek között sokkal fontosabb egy sikeres tudástranszfer tekintetében, mint az alkalmazott információs rendszerek vagy az előzetes tárgyi tudás.
