ABSTRACT
As it has been shown in this publication, inter-organizational cooperation between universities and companies based on mutual interest in digital technologies is influenced by their internal transformations triggered by the development of those technologies. Both universities and companies frequently change their business models due to organizational transformations triggered by digital technologies – leading to more questions about the nature and depth of those changes as well as their impact (its direction and power) on establishing and strengthening bonds with other stakeholder groups, both of a university and of a company. Thus, the author believes there is also a need for in-depth research to evaluate the power of impact of the value co-created by partners (founded on knowledge of digital technologies) on the aggregation of knowledge both by a university and a company. Comparing the results with the solutions presented in this publication should lead to better understanding of the problem of developing long-term relationships between universities and businesses in the market of university services and in the context of digital transformation.
