Recently, many internationally famous organizations worldwide have been applying KM concepts to their organizations. However, some of these organizations have failed in their implementation of KM. As a result, the success of the KM process must depend on correct KM model selection. Therefore, developers have to consider carefully when choosing the appropriate models in order for KM to be effectively regulated. This paper compares and analyzes the prominent strengths and weaknesses of six popular KM concepts that have been applied to some of Thailand’s organizations. Hence, developers must be diligent when considering the variety of models because the selected model will have a direct impact on the organization’s development.
