[Purpose/significance] During new product development, the knowledge intermediaries(KI) connect key enterprises and knowledge collaborators, providing service in the new product develop(NPD) process. It is meaningful for both key enterprises and KI to select appropriate KI for each kind of knowledge collaboration.[Method/process] This study classified KI into four classifications. According to the 4 knowledge collaborators and collaborations characteristics, it picked the most appropriate KI. Then it constructed the KI service model in the NPD process.[Result/conclusion] Agent KI, partner KI, connector KI and mediator KI could provide service for the collaboration between key enterprise and lead users, universities and research institutions, competitors and suppliers. Each kind of KI could provide various service according to their strength in knowledge fitting and knowledge collaboration stage.
