Abstract
Recipient’s Absorptive Capacity (ACAP) remains an under-researched barrier to knowledge transfer in organisations. The Technology Readiness (TR) dimensions appear to align with individual ACAP as it measures an individual's propensity to use technology. Hence, this research-in-progress discusses that the TR dimensions correlate to individual ACAP. As universities are centres of knowledge generation and its transfer, they are an ideal context for this research. Accordingly, a conceptual framework is developed that serves as a basis for deriving knowledge transfer, aimed at achieving individuals technology absorptive capacity.

The Effect of Technology Readiness on Individual Absorptive Capacity for Knowledge Transfer
Recipient’s Absorptive Capacity (ACAP) remains an under-researched barrier to knowledge transfer in organisations. The Technology Readiness (TR) dimensions appear to align with individual ACAP as it measures an individual's propensity to use technology. Hence, this research-in-progress discusses that the TR dimensions correlate to individual ACAP. As universities are centres of knowledge generation and its transfer, they are an ideal context for this research. Accordingly, a conceptual framework is developed that serves as a basis for deriving knowledge transfer, aimed at achieving individuals technology absorptive capacity.
