Along with the arrival of knowledge economy period, knowledge-intensive industry has remarkably shown its important status in developping of economy. The dependence of knowledge-intensive industry to tacit knowledge has been awared, but there is few research paying attention to the issue about tacit knowledge transferring in new product development in knowledge-intensive industry, pertinently and systematically.First of all, there is an important research on tacit knowledge transferring mode and transferring process in different phase of new product development (NPD) process in knowledge-intensive industry. The model of tacit knowledge transferring effectiveness in NPD process in knowledge-intensive industry is constructed, with the method of Structure Equation Modeling (SEM), and observes the degree and mechanism of impact from those factors. In addition, two factors, industry and firm's size, are brought to the whole impact system, which are used to research the difference of impact on tacit knowledge transferring through them.An impact system is constructed in this thesis, including all the impact factors and the degree and mechansm of impact via those factors.1) Transferring of tacit knowledge in NPD process in knowledge-intensive industry, is depending on customer and repository, but the difference of transferring mode among each phase of NPD process is also notable.2) Tacit knowledge resource complexity effects the effectiveness of transferring of tacit knowledge negatively, on the contrary, the impact of tacit knowledge recipient capability is positive.3) Obscale to the platform of tacit knowledge transferring effects the characteristic of tacit knowledge transferring (speed and continuity) negatively, but no effection on transferring utilization and use is oberserved.4) Characteristics of tacit knowledge transferring in the firms from different industries are notably different. It is displayed that software industry has the highest speed and continuity, pharmacy and chemical engineering industry are the lowest, and communication industry is the middle.5 ) Firm size has a notable impact on the three dimension of the effectiveness of transferring of tacit knowledge, but not in the same direction. It effects the characteristics of transferring negatively, but the utilization and use positively.6) Just like most conclusion of current researches, the effectiveness of tacit knowledge transferring impact NPD performance positively, and this conclusion may support those issue that knowledge management capability could improve NPD performance, at a certain extent.The model of this research supplies a scientific and practical analysis tool for those firms in knowledge-intensive industry.
