Purpose: The aim of the paper is to present a model of knowledge transfer based on a design thinking method.Design/Methodology/approach: The structured interview method is used in the paper as well as a comparative analysis method. COTRANS model of knowledge transfer based on the design thinking method was created.Findings: Based on the findings of the empirical study, three propositions are formulated. The first proposition is that the CONTRANS model is a good example of knowledge management. The next one shows DT method as an effective approach in creating a model of knowledge. Last one states that Scholars have argued that both academia and business are motivated to build relationships with one another. Research limitations/implications: Authors are aware of research limitations which are caused by the methodology of convenient sample selection. The method does not guarantee a representative sample; however, it may become a premise for getting know the population.(original abstract)
