| Abstract | Although knowledge has been recognized as one of the most important assets of
organizations, companies know either little or nothing about how to manage this valuable
resource. This study seeks to answer this problem by examining knowledge management
processes in communication companies in Thailand. The main focus is on assessing the use of
knowledge management, surveying knowledge management activities, and presenting a
process model of knowledge management existing in such companies. First, a preliminary
survey was conducted in order to find out about the companies that have used knowledge
management programs by using Knowledge Management Assessment Tool (KMAT). Then
knowledge management in each company was compared. Using this information, a process
model of knowledge management was developed. The final results show that there is no
company that has obvious strategies about knowledge management, and knowledge
management of the studied companies exists in the form of human resource management.
Though the resultant model is not a complete one, it can provide the firms that are interested in
applying knowledge management in their organizations with guideli nes about what should be
done. To make this model more complete, the "Measurement of Progress and Reassessment"
stage is recommended to be included in this model. |
