Abstract: Knowledge management has become a popular issue in both the practical and academic fields recently, and is concerned with the processes of knowledge creation, knowledge diffusion and knowledge usage of both intra-organization and inter-organizations. In this paper, we limit the topic of knowledge management to the process of knowledge diffusion. Two knowledge diffusion models distinguished by the degree of involvement of the organizational members are proposed according to the perspectives of gene evolution and population dynamics. These models of knowledge diffusion propose an organic view for realizing the process of knowledge diffusion and insights into how to improve the process of efficient knowledge diffusion based on the evolution of species.
