Abstract: This study investigated factors that impacted the succession of international trading. By testing the hypotheses on a sample of 169 foreign-owned and Thai owned exporting firms, the results revealed that, among the three components of knowledge management, only knowledge acquisition had a positive impact on the succession of international trading. E-business adoption had a positive impact on knowledge management. E-business adoption had a greater impact than knowledge management on the succession of international trading. However, the target exporting firms exerted high level of knowledge management practices and adopted moderate level of e-business activities. Meanwhile they ranked knowledge application as the highest frequently practices, followed by knowledge acquisition and knowledge dissemination respectively. The findings suggest that effective automated business transaction and knowledge-based-business policy should be encouraged to gain international trading sustainable development.
