Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to better understand the influence of relationships on the value created within university–industry links. Organizational and environmental differences (OED) between a university and a company create one of the main sources of barriers in their cooperation. The author suggests that the quality of the relationships may mediate the OED influence on the co-created value. The variables identified in three groups, i.e., organizational and environmental factors, the value created, and the quality of relationships, contribute to creating a relationships management model within the university‒business networking.
