Since the last decades of the 20th century, we have been witnessing a historical shift in the economic structure reflected in the spectacular growth of the services at the expense of the manufacturing sector. Within the very heterogeneous service sector knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) are presumed as a sub-sector providing complex and high quality services that rely on intensive knowledge use and increased learning capability. In this relation the authors intend to assess the company practice of knowledge use and development comparing Hungarian and Slovak KIBS firms. The most important empirical lessons are as follows: the experiences based ("on the job") learning is more important than the participation in the formal education in both countries. However, in the Slovak firms the participation in formal education ("learning by acqusition") is playing stronger role in the knowledge development and learning than in the Hungarian ones. Finally, it worth noting that in both countries, such external knowledge pools as customers, suppliers, consulting agencies are more significant sources of firms' knowledge base than higher education and training institutions.
