Diagnosis and Prevention
Ethical communication in business and elsewhere includes giving proper credit to the work of others. In both workplace and academic settings, plagiarism (representing the words, ideas, or perspectives of others as your own) is a serious breach of ethics.
In this discussion thread, provide useful techniques for preventing and detecting plagiarism.
Begin your commentary by providing a clear and specific one-paragraph definition of plagiarism as an unacceptable technique for professional writing as it applies to your major field of study (Business Management) and your present or intended career path (Own a business).
In your definition, provide a documented source for your definition, using the MLA, APA, or Chicago Manual of Style format. See our course Webliography for some good sites.
Then you should follow that definition with at least two or three techniques that writers can use to detect and prevent plagiarism, and therefore make their writing less risky to themselves and their employers.
As a “tickler,” see if you can tell what techniques might be used in class to detect plagiarism.
