Latest researches that investigate the creation, diffusion and utilisation of economically useful knowledge go beyond questions like how much resources need to be invested to these processes by enterprises and what the result of these investments are. The objects of analysis have been shifted to issues like how knowledge creation, diffusion and utilisation actually take place at firm level, what kind of characteristics could be observed in this process and how much do the outputs contribute to the performance of firms, sectors and regions. Several theoretical frameworks have been developed to answer these questions from which the differentiated (analytical, synthetic, symbolic) knowledge bases theory seems a prevailing one. Hitherto the approach has been mostly used in developed countries yet it seems an appropriate framework to analyse the creation, diffusion and utilisation of industry specific knowledge and its spatial aspects at the same time in less developed countries like Hungary. In the present paper we apply this framework to investigate the local printing industry in Kecskemét (Hungary) presumably characterised by synthetic knowledge base mainly. The aim is to unfold and analyse the characteristics of knowledge flows in the industry and to explore whether the revealed pattern is in line with the theory. Therefore the following questions are addressed: what is the main geographical scene of knowledge acquisition, what are the main sources of new knowledge and who are the main partners in the knowledge sourcing process. Evidence proof theory-led expectations, and reveal the relevance of direct knowledge sources, the importance of co-localization and the dominancy of engineering-based knowledge in the industry.
