Abstract: To survive and thrive, society has always needed knowledge. Knowledge is a significant component of success of any member within the organization and, implicitly, of the organization itself. Knowledge management could be defined as a vast process of transforming tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge and sharing it within organizations. Knowledge management efficiency is observed when the knowledge stored at the organization level is actually used.In this article, I will summarize the main features of knowledge management models as follows: SECI model, hierarchical model, process models: knowledge management modeling and process-based knowledge model, and technology models: knowledge management technology model and models Web 2.0 service. I will perform a comparative analysis of the above mentioned knowledge management models, using the criteria of relevance and sufficiency as a first step.I’ ll apply the results of this comparative analysis to Karl Popper’s criteria for establishing a knowledge management model that I’ ll use to build a knowledge bank of the National Defense, Public Order and National Security System.
