Abstract: Absorptive capacity and technological compatibility are among the many elements that facilitate the transference of technology. However, studies that discussed absorptive capacity overlooked most elements that have been suggested to comprise the construct. In addition, studies on technology transfer have also not integrated both the firm's capacity to absorb the technology and the appropriateness of the technology, even though both are seen as important to ensure the success of technology transfer. This study used data collected from Malaysian manufacturing firms to determine the relationship between absorptive capacity, technological compatibility and technology transfer performance. The results show there are associations among the dimensions of knowledge diversification and transformative capacity with the integration stage of technology transfer. Appropriateness of technology also shows similar patterns. In addition, multiple regression tests also indicated tha!
t these variables contributed in explaining the transfer stage.
