Validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed. To analyze data, structural equation modeling (SEM) and path analysis by the LISREL software have been used. The results showed that standard coefficient between information and communication Technology and implementation of knowledge management is equal to 0/52 and between two variables of strategic thinking and implementation of knowledge management is equal to 0/37.So it could be concluded that information and communication Technologyand strategic thinking would affect implementation of knowledge management
