description This paper examines adaptation, co-operation and knowledge transfers in marketing relationships. The context of this study is professional services in a business-to-business market, more specifically the marketing research industry in Slovenia. The results show that particularly minor adaptations are present in marketing relationships between clients and service providers. Operational co-operation and knowledge transfers are more present than higher forms of co-operation and knowledge transfers. Results are also presented about how the characteristics of relationships (such as the duration of the relationship, the perceived position of the client at the service supplier and the position of the service supplier at the client) and the client's characteristics (firm size and industry) influence adaptation, co-operation and knowledge transfers in the examined context.
