Summary/Abstract: There is a wide variety of collaborative forms of interaction between higher education institutions and business organizations. Through them knowledge, technology or other resources (human, financial and material) can be transferred. On the basis of the existing body of research, this paper aims to outline the typical forms of such interaction and their characteristics in the field of logistics and supply chain management in the different domains – research, education, and innovation. The results suggest that most of the relationships between higher education institutions and business organizations in the field of logistics and supply chain management are in education and research domain and less in commercialization, entrepreneurship and participation in governance structures. These findings allow a better understanding of the main forms of collaboration and help guide future assessment of the interaction between higher education institutions and business organisations.
