This paper aimed at developing a model for knowledge creation within an industrial cluster on the basis of a case study of a cluster of shanzhaied cell phone producers. The paper examined the knowledge conversion process, the structure and forms of ba, the evolution of knowledge assets of different players, and the nature and the role of leadership in the operation of the shanzhaied cell phone cluster. Next, the paper developed a cycling model of knowledge radiation and evolvement. This model could facilitate the creative utilisation of existing knowledge efficiently, and made Nonaka's framework of knowledge creation obtain a concrete form in an industrial cluster. Key words: Industrial cluster, knowledge-creating, shanzhaied operation.
