Global manufacturing network (GMN) is a new manufacturing system that has super manufacturing and servicing abilities. It is challenging traditional manufacturing conceptions. This paper describes and analyzes evolution of the concept of GMN, its members, and its theoretical bases. This paper also explores the reasons, of knowledge transfer in the GMN, as well as mechanism and process of knowledge transfer in the GMN. Finally, the implication of GMN for Chinese local firms is discussed
