Abstract
The goal of the article is to examine the use of the most popu-lar in literature external knowledge sources from which various types of manufacturing companies acquire knowledge. The results of quantitative research show that high and medium-high technology manufacturing enterprises use practically all examined knowledge sources more intensively than low and medium-low technology manufacturing firms.
