Select 3 (somewhat inter-related) knowledge management concepts and carry out a concept analysis in order to better distinguish and define each term. You may choose from the concept suggestions below. For each concept selected, outline the key attributes, list some good examples and list some non examples. Describe the key factors that distinguish each from the two others. Finally, propose a definition for each term based on your analysis.

You may use the concept analysis framework presented in Chapter 1 and in the Lecture slides for the first lecture.
